The black is very light and sometimes you can barely see the prints. When I print a photo the black parts are all faded away.The black is very light and sometimes you can barely see the prints. When I print a photo the black parts are all faded away.

You need to take it a couple steps further after your test print. Sounds like your print heads need cleaning or your cartridge may need aligning. It's best to do this each time you install a new cartridge. get more information and help from here .
Spend a little time searching the topic on google and even this post. It appears that this has been a well documented problem since at least early 2008. The problem appears to be the imaging unit. According to several posts, Samsung has replaced several of the units. I purchased my CLP-300 in November 2008 and it worked with no problems until about 8 months in. The black text would print very lightly on the left side of the page about 1/4 of the way into the page. There was also a streak that ran down the page vertically that disrupted the text. I could change the font to any color and it would print just fine. After replacing several toner cartridges, I just began to print in a dark color for many months. After discovering all the posts on the internet this week, I contacted Samsung today with my documentation and evidence. They basically blew me off stating that I was outside of the 1 year warranty period and there was nothing they could do. I was even hung up on by a Samsung employee named Michael. Tonight I plan to take a hammer to it to relieve a little frustration. I cannot understand why Samsung chooses to ignore this well documented problem. Good luck.
Look in the application you are using and the printer setup, printer properties and current printer profile and you will most likely find that you have a setting for print text as pure black only. I quite often do this to save colour ink!
check if your toner cartridge(s) is moving the toner supply spiral, you can see it in hole where toner leaving bottle. (you must push the valve in cylindrical output of cartridge inside about 20mm). When you rotate anti-clockwise gear of cartridge, the spiral inside must rotate too. My original toner has this broken and print was light.
You can have also bad developer unit, blade, or contacts, or printer electronic board.
Samsung CLP-300 color laser leaves 3-4 lines of various shades of black in middle of paper. Otherwise everything is great. Posssible black toner cartridge problem?
