Lines down the page can be caused by a few things - depending on what the line looks like.

If it is a smudged dirty streaky mark continously down the page, you migh have a dirty fuser - it may have been picking up toner and it has built up and then put it back down on the paper.

A thin defined black line might be a scratched drum or developer - the laser might be refracting and drawing the defect onto the drum.

Blank or white lines could be something stopping the toner from getting to the paper - transfer roller under the toner might have something stuck on it.

A repeated mark or defect could also be a dirty fuser - glue or wax from envelopes and labels could do this.

Try swapping the toner with another to test - borrow one if you can.

Run 3 or 4 cleaning pages - in the menu, configure device, print quality menu, create/process cleaning page.

Remove the fuser - back door comes off, little blue clips, pull it. out - rotate using the green knob and you might be able to gently remove something stuck in it.

If you can get to another 4250 or 4350 you could borrow the fuser and find out.

For this machine, I find worn out fusers and dirty printers are most commonly showing these symptoms. Next common is low quality after market cartridges.
