I have a LaserJet P2015d that I bought several weeks ago. After printing less than 200 pages, it suddenly started printing with smudges on the left side of each sheet. This now happens on every sheet. Each page alternately prints either three or four smudges on the side. The following test pages show how they appear...

I took the toner cartridge out and shook it, but it made no difference. This is the same toner that came with the printer out of the box.
Does anyone know what the issue might be? If it's the toner, I won't mind buying a new cartridge, but I hate to shell out for a another one if the issue turns out to be the printer itself.
