Issue descriptionSmudges appear on the printout because the toner is not being fused to the paper.
Recommended troubleshooting
Try a different kind of paper. Paper designed for copiers gives the best-quality fusing.

Change the media texture setting in the driver. If you are using special media such as cardstock or labels, then be sure to select the correct media type.
