Print Quality Issues

 

Ghosting, lines, streaking, and repeating defects will be a drum related issue.  The drum unit is separate from the toner cartridge.

 

Not Fitting

 

Verify you have the correct toner cartridge for your specific printer model.  Check inside the printer for any obstructions.  Check the cartridge itself for physical damage.  Make sure the black cap was removed from the cartridge.
