The laser unit is faulty and needs replaced. A service engineer can do this but it is expensive

First problem was the whole page was smearing when printing. I replaced the drum and there is still a little smearing. What can I try next?

smearing can be interpreted different ways. if paper stalls, it will cause "stretched" print. if the drive system is bogged down by a binding drum unit or toner, it can cause a "squished" print. if its just a "blurry" kind of print, it may be generic toner. since i can't actually see defect, i would say since you replaced drum already, toner would be easiest thing to do first. keep in mind also, generic toners have a fairly high failure rate.

I changed the Ink Cartridge a week ago but my printer is flashing the yellow toner button and will not print.

Take the toner cartridge out, give it a shake and put it back in.
How many pages did you print in the last week?
their "high yield" cartridge is only rated at 7000 pages so I am guessing the regular cartridge is rated around 3000 (or 6 reams)
It may also be complaining that the drum needs replacing depending on how long you've owned it.

When printing out there are black marks on the side of the pages

The black marks are most likely from a worn image drum. I would check the image drum (the unit that the toner fits into) for wear marks. If worn i would suggest to replace it. The Brother part is DR-250 and is available at most office supply stores.

I have a Brother 5240 printer. The toner light

Try this... it reads the level of the toner and can become faulty. This clears it.
1: Turn off power and remove toner/drum
2: Tape the little spring loaded lever just inside the printer on the upper left hand side in the *DOWN* position! Do not replace drum yet and...
3: Turn power on to printer and let it cycle. Status/Toner lights will come on as usual.
4: Turn off printer, remove tape from lever, replace drum and turn back on.

Fuser Problem?? The ink does not cover the left side of the page

Pull out the toner/drum and on the backside there is a blueish/purple tab, it slides from side to side along a corona wire. Move the tab back and forth several times and then put the toner/drum back in and reprint.
Below are the instructions on how to accomplish this task.

Vertical black lines printing down page - changed toner without success

Hi Mike,
Check the drum. Take the drum and toner out of printer. Remove the toner and check the drum. Probably scratched.
