Cartridge faulty...
Two ways you can find out the faulty cartridge.
1. Remove each cartridge, just flip the drum shutter & chk for any toner bands appears on drum surface.. if found replace that cartridge..
2. Go to the paint. create four colored page as shown, print & verify which colored print mixed with bads.. replace that cartrdige.. ">

Imaging drum reach 20,000 (black only) or 5,000 (color), replace the image drum.

Supplies life
The life of the imaging drum depends on the number of black-only or color pages that print jobs
require. Imaging-drum life is also affected each time the device calibrates because calibrating causes the imaging drum to rotate. Imaging-drum life is measured in terms of number of rotations rather than number of pages printed.
The type and length of print jobs also affects drum life. A series of short print jobs uses more drum
life than an equivalent number of pages printed in a single large job. To extend drum life, print
multiple copies of a print job at one time rather than sending the same job to the device multiple times.
The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, black print cartridges last an average of 5,000 pages and cyan, magenta, and
yellow print cartridges last an average of 2,000 pages. High-capacity cyan, magenta, and yellow print cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages. (A typical business letter has 5% coverage.)

Check online for refill instructions and where to buy the chip to replace on the drum, most of the drums today have little chips to replace that tell the printer when they are used up, even when there's still life in them.

Im having the same problem
did u find a cure

Most Printers that are laser have a transfer roller or transfer belt. If you have replaced all the drums this can often be the problem.

Black is used on all prints. Did you pull the tape on the new cartridge?

Don't ever use compataable cartridge for printing .
(1)Check for printer sleave damage....
(2) check for any noise from printer when printing noise from fuser section.
(3).. Print a Demo color level page ...
(4)Check for scaner section ......
