The printed page is dark looking and grey. It doesn't matter what I print from, checks, word documents or spreadsheets.

That black dust that fell out is the toner. When you shake a toner cartridge that shouldn't happen. It looks like you have a faulty toner cartidge and that need to be replaced! Now to make your printer prints cleanly and clearly after you replace the cartridge, you'll need to get someone to service the printer(the faulty toner cartridge more than likely spilled toner on your internal printer parts, cause the smudges). Sevicing would mainly entail, taking down the printer and removing any spilt toner! If you feel you are up to this, be cautious, because toner can be hazardous to your health if you accidentally breathe it in! hope this was helpful! regards babb

There is a gear on the left hand side of the toner to reset the toner count this can cheated be rewinding it. Yes the design is to stop the refillers or at least slow them down a bit. If this fails purchase a new genuine toner but I have seen problems with the switch that resets the toner (Either the spring on the switch has popped off or the main board has failed).

Change out the toner first and then the drum. Also be sure there is not excess toner underneath where the toner is installed. If so clean that out with a dry cloth.

The drum is a very sensitive part. Should not touch with bare hand, expose to light for long, etc. With what did you clean,it.

Replacing the drum usually solves this problem.
