What Causes Poor Quality Prints With Black Vertical Streaks And Blurred Print.
The cartridge of my Dell laser printer MFP 1125 has been doing well for many months. I began getting poor quality printing with vertical black streaks on the paper. I have cleaned the drum which had a number of black lines on it, but it continues to do the same with less dense black streaks. How can I correct this problem

Some of the common causes are:
- The toner supply or level is low.
- The interior of the printer being dirty.
- The paper being used.
- The brand of toner being used.
