Vertical lines and evenly spaced marks are typically caused by damaged drum. The drums are usually in the toner cartridges. If you think its coming from a a roller or wheel you should be able to just clean off the roller/wheel. The fuser is simply what melts the toner into the paper so I doubt that is your issue.
Try cleaning the rollers and wheels. If that doesnt help replace the drum/cartridge if they are combined.
send a print / copy through the machine stop the machine via the main switch before toe paper has come out remove the drum unit
you should now be able to see part of your print on the drum if you can also see the black line check for obstructions in the light path if these seem fine the chances are the dev or cleaner blade seals have spung a leak ( time to replace the drum cartridge
The problem is either with your black toner cartridge or the drum. Try changing the black cartridge first, and if this doesnt work then you will need a new drum
Its probably a defective toner. If the film on the toner drum is scratched it can cause toner to stick to the drum everytime it spins causing the constant marks.

The most common cause of lines accross the page is either the PhotoConductor Unit or the 2ND BTR Assy.
