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.

after the second or third NOS toner spewing its contents inside a printer, I splurged and purchased a toner vacuum. Cheaper than having the printer tech come out and clean up the mess for me.

as the printer tech explained to me, those NOS toners (at least HP ones) have a plastic piece that wears out when sitting in the box.

What I do is the redneck method, which is take the stupid thing outside, don a respirator, and blast it with the air compressor. Your solution is probably significantly more environmentally friendly, though.
