Steps I have taken to identify the cause of the problem: 1. Replace the cartridge/ toner with the same result 2. I am assuming it is not the pickup roller issue? since the problem is only on the far left side of the sheet 3. If this is not the cartridge and the pickup roller issues, where else can I look or check?
The smudges on the side of the paper is most likely a piece of something rubbing against the paper just after the printer puts the ink on the paper. Inspect as much as possible the path that paper takes. Look at rollers. Anything that grab the paper. Look for ink and dust build up. As for the vertical lines. Could be several things. I you haven't used you printer for awhile the ink in the nozzle could of dried up. Most new printers have a nozzle cleaning function. Try that it a couple of times. See if that helps. If it shows any sign of change after that, it dried up ink. It's a hassle to try to get the ink flowing again. I normally just to replace the cartridges. Let me know if this helps or not.
Testimonial: "Hey Daniel, In order to do a thorough inspection, I would need to unscrew some screws on the printer. However, I have already replaced the cartdridges once. Do you know, where else should I expect without having to remove any screw? Thank you for your answer."
