SOURCE: Printed paper is creased
First thing to check is try it with a fresh unopened ream of quality paper, paper with too much moisture content, drys out and goes wavy when it runs threw the fuser roller at rear (180 deg), otherwise it will be the fuser rollers themselves causing your problem, which means that you need to replace fuser assy

Re Replace toner message.
Do an information print (MENU, ENTER, ENTER)
This will tell you the pagecount of the various units of the printer
Imaging Unit (Drum)
Transfer Belt (ITB)
Transfer roller
Fuser
Toner Cartridges
etc
The counter for the Cyan toner will simlpy indicate that this is near, at, or over the 'capacity' for this cartridge.
There are
1.5k colour and 2k black 'starter' cartridges
2k colour and 3k black 'standard' cartridges
and
5k colour and 7k black 'high capacity' cartridges.
NOTE even if you only have a single dot of (say) cyan on a page, the counter for that colour will be increased by 1 when that page is printed. 'Empty' cartridges are often far from empty in reality, ans there is no toner sensor, just the counter, which is reset when you install a new cartridge.
The missing print on one side of the reverse side of duplex printed pages is quie a puzzle, as the duplexer simply turns the paper over and presents it to the transferbelt and transfer roller for the second side.
Check the transfer roller is in place properly (open the duplex door - black foam roller A4 width with purple plastic tab on one end black on the other).
Is the duplex door fitted correctly, does it close correctly ?
SOURCE: Printouts have type ghosting
Change the fuser unit if you have to hand. The problem is likely caused by a lack of pressure from the pressure roller. Also check the transfer roller for a similar ghost image.

You should clean the printer's drum and/or re-insert the tuner back in it's place.
