Run the 1/2 print test.
Put paper in the manual feed tray. Print a few pages of anything. As the paper gets about 3/4 of the way into the printer, open the cartridge door. Pull out the cartridge and look down at the paper. If it has the black stripe on the left side, replace the toner. In fact at this point, pick up the toner cartridge and gently swing the shutter open and look at the drum. You should be able to see a black stripe on it.
By the way, the toner hasn't been fused to the paper at this point. It will rub off on hands and clothes.
If the 1/2 test shows no stripe on the paper...replace the fuser.
