Dear user,

You have to select monochrome print settings first. go to properties of your printer and choose the tab where you get to select between B&W and color.

If is attempting to print the documents remove the cartridges and check to make sure they were properly installed. Make sure that the tape was removed that covers the ink and that the cartridges "click" into place when installed.

SOURCE: Samsung CLX-3175FN printer only prints VERY faint

Faint prints with Laser Printer usually occurs when the drum is full with the wasted ink (toner power) or when the Fuser Unit is not working correctly. First of all try cleaning the Drum and remove the wasted toner power. There should be an opening on one of the end of the drum. In some cases, it needs to be disassembled to remove the wasted inks.
Also remove the fuser unit and clean the unit. Please handle it with care and never clean it when it's hot/warm. Only do this, after the printer is left turned off for about half an hour.
If nothing is helpful, try with another/new drum or fuser, that will help you get to find out the exact cause of the problem.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

My SAMSUNG CLX-3175 says toner empty. But how do I know which one to replace??????

I'm going to assume that there's a letter next to the message on the display about the toner being out because I have a Samsung color laser printer and it gives the same message.
C = Cyan (Blue) M = Magenta (Red/Pink) Y = Yellow K= Black
Other than that, got to your printer control menu on your computer and find the status menu. It will tell you what's out.

How would i know which color of toner is need to change?

The life of the toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size.

If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge.

The machine uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each one:

yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K).

    The status LED and the toner-related message on the display indicates which each individual toner cartridge should be replaced.

My clx-3175 wont print black and white when color toner is empty???

All of the manufacturers do the same thing to get people to buy their toners, if any toner is empty you don't get to print even black. Sometimes empty toner can scratch a drum so that's the excuse they use for making them that way.
