This is a common problem with a close-to-empty cart.
A new cartridge will have even toner, and will distribute it evenly to the page.
An older toner will start to streak and line onto the page.
Another issue could be the fuser... some of the new printers have a fuser built into the cart unit... so that when you replace the cartridge it replaces the fuser as well.
A fuser can become dirty and thus not distribute toner evenly across the page.
If your paper setting are set corectly (normal paper) and you are getting a "ghost image" from the previous page, most likley the fuser is the problem. On rare occasions, the drum unit could be the culpret (Black lines) down the sides of the page as you indicated.
You may have 2 problems.
I would change the toner drum 1st. If the black lines go away ,yet the ghost image continues, then change the fuser as well.
The cartridge and the fuser (hot spot) are unrelated parts. There is a thermistor that controls the temperature of the fuser. I would check your cartridge to see if there is any kind of residue that is being transfered to the paper and getting burned off in the fuser. I would recommend switching back to OEM cartridges. Most warranties will be voided if you use a non OEM cartridge.
take out the printer see that any more paper or contact points contaminated. and any jamm in fuser area etc. and also see that toner is correctly installed or any part is broken ,
