What Could Cause The Black To Start Printing Light Yet The Color Is Normal?

Yesterday the black started to print more like dark gray. I replaced the black toner cartridge with no change. What else would cause this symptom?

Your Dell 2135cn machine prints a gray black color because it requires a chartridge cleaning. You have to perform a cartridge cleaning to remove uneven color output of your Dell 2135cn. Use the Dell software included in the package of the printer to perform the ink cartridge cleaning.
