Can anyone suggest what causes these lines across the page?

Is a new toner cartridge likely to fix this?

Edit: Line separation is 62.5mm

Edit 2: Thank you to everyone who replied. I've ordered a new toner cartridge and will update this if that solves the problem ๐Ÿซก

Final update: A new toner cartridge fixed it. It's now printing perfectly! Thank you.

Hmm. In a former life a repaired large size laser printers. We would measure the distance between these lines, and a table would tell us which drum/roller was causing effects like this (it is the circumference).

What is the distance between the lines? In mm please.

If it is 63mm, you should replace the cartridge. Check this image:

1& 2 is fuser, rollers 3-7 are part of the toner cartridge.

It is 62.5 mm, which I think I can call 63 mm ๐Ÿ˜

Does this mean I can just replace the toner cartridge and it will likely be fine after ๐Ÿค”
