My HP4700dn prints with a pinkish toner on the entire page. I have tried the cleaning mode and have tried a slight cleaning of the printer, but it still prints with the pinkish color a on the whole page.

there is no print head in this model is a laser printer with drum
1-check toner level and the setting of toner density in setup.
2-remove toner cartridge and clean entire printer with air blower
3-replace toner cartridge

sounds like a dodgy black toner - is it a 3rd party toner - had this quite a lot myself at work with cheaper cartridges. to print a cleaning page just flick through the menu to diagnostics or print quality - in here you should find some cleaning tools of the machine

Smeared output can result when you refeed a printed page into the printer to make a double-sided page. This happens because the rubber rollers that grip the paper to pull it into the printer can pick up toner from the first side’s printing and smear it. So before replacing parts, this is an easy thing to check. Printing multiple pages consecutively will make the pages print progressively cleaner or you can clean the rollers with rubbing alcohol.

Smeared toner also happens because the nonstick coating on the fusing roller is scratched or has baked-on debris. This can happen if the printer is in a dirty environment especially. If you are comfortable removing the fuser, you can try to clean it with a soft cloth and alcohol, but make sure you let it cool down first!

Finally, if this does not resolve your issue then make sure the fuser is heating; toner that is not heated properly will fall from the page and smear. If the thermostat is bad or the fuser not working properly, you will most likely need to replace the entire fuser assembly. This will be pretty expensive to repair so hopefully it's one of those other issues.

that would b the fuser if it has build up on the rollers.. definitely change out the magenta toner and verify that the paper stock is within specs!

The following table should help

Contamination in the laser path - 1. Clean the laser path. (Remove the laser/scanner assembly and clean the lens.) 2. Replace the laser/scanner assembly

Defective fuser - Replace the fuser assembly.

Lack of toner or faulty toner cartridge - Redistribute the toner in the toner cartridge. If the problem continues, replace the toner cartridge.

Dirty Corona Wire - Clean the Corona Wire.

Defective Drum - Mostly applies to B&W printers. Clean the drum or replace the drum.

If it is up and down, then you have contamination of the paper path. The paper path needs to be thouroughly cleaned.

In addition, check the rollers and little wheels that keep the paper flat where the printheads cross. On some printers, the carrier for the shaft of these can come loose and allow the paper to buldge up slightly to hit the print head and smear a vertical stripe.

You most likely need to get a maintenece kit on it what that includes is the fuser. It could be tht the fuser itself is damaged or has burnt toner on it causing it to apear dirty

If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too light or Toner Save Mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and Toner Save Mode in the printer properties.

Make sure TONER SAVE MODE is NOT ENABLED!

I ran the hp toolbox "cleaning" mode too and it did not help the problem at all. I still have a dark smear concentrated in the middle of the page, and ghost images repeated lighter all the way down the page.

in computer goto printer setting mode and uncheck option
toner saving mode and check out for dark or light effect
