Weird toner issues

Our HP LaserJet 2420dn is printing very dark. Whenever we print a page, the whole page comes out darker than normal. It looks like everything is in a shadow or was copied on very dark paper. Help?!? I have tried to open the printer to clean it but I can't figure out where to do so.

HP LaserJet 1012 that was vertical streaking on the whole page

Sadly, the following HP support page offers about 8 dirrerent possible solutions, some of which you may have tried. You likely will have to try the others to see if they eliminate the problem.

Myself, I would download the HP Print and Scan Doctor just to see if it worked any magic or offered advice. Alternatively, Here is the support page related to printing issues with this printer: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00599279

Printed pages are light on both sides of page.

This is usually a sign that the toner cartridge is running low on toner. Replace the toner cartridge and see if the problem persists. If not, then problem solved.

If the problem persists, try adjusting the darkness settings in the printer settings when you are about to print. Sometimes even one notch darker can make a large difference.

My HP printer 2420 leaves "ghost" prints on the pages.

This can be caused by one of two things.

1. faulty wiper blade on your toner so that the previous image in not being wiped off the drum.
2. worn fuser sleve.

To work out which it is you will need to do a half stop test: print off a normal document then when it is about half way through the printer ( unfortunatly you may have to repeat this to get the timing right) open the front cover. remove the toner cartridge. if you can see the ghosting on the page the it is the toner. if its not there then its a new fuser. to save on money and if your confident enouh you may be able to just chane the fuser sleve depending on the state of the fuser on a whole.

hope this helps

Printing pages dark

The cartridge itself needs to be replaced, threre is a blade called the drum cleaning blade which scrapes toner off the Drum(blue roller) it is not cleaning the excess toner.
