1. Post the question to an appropriate group.
2. Why in the world don't you have a new toner cartridge to "try"? Go
buy one now!
3. Learn to ask a question properly by carefully defining the problem
with sufficient detail.
I doubt that you are of the technical expertise to use this
information, but here's a hint anyway. If the "marks" happen to be
long black streaks down the page, the problem could be the "rubber"
rollers that guide the paper through the printer. HP rollers often
tend to self-destruct by turning into a black gooey mass. If the
"marks" are toner or unmelted toner, then the problem is probably a
bad fuser. Parts for all these problems are usually so expensive from
HP that the best solution is to dump your piece of crap printer in the
trash and by a Brother or something similar where you get an entire
printer for the price of an HP toner cartridge.
