Poor Print Quality

Hi, my Samsung ML 3051n has started producing all printing results with longitudinal grey/white lines running through it. The toner is showing as 3/4 full. I have tried fuser cleaning from the maintenance options etc Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Gualo.

Without taking the printer apart, it sounds like it's likely a problem with the drum or developer roller.  Since this printer uses an all-in-one toner cartridge, replacing the cartridge will more than likely fix your problem.
