In this test I noticed very little toner transferred to the paper, the part of the OPC that had already passed over the paper had the printed image sharp and clean on it, and the toner transferred to the paper was very faint. Could that point to some missing voltage that should have caused the toner to be attracted into the paper?
 
Storage conditions?
Must be DRY.
 
Clean the 3 contacts on the bottom of the toner and their mates
in the printer. The printer contacts are spring loaded and should
depress and release easily. Clean around the contact areas.
 
If that doesn't help, remove the metal ramp and transfer roller.
Clean the roller and all the nooks and crannies under it.
 
This is all based on your statement that the image on the OPC was
pristine and assumes the printer and paper are DRY, DRY, DRY.
They won't be if you stored it in a damp place.
 
I can't come up with a way to get your linked picture when the OPC is
clean. You've got background toner everywhere.
That can't happen if your OPC is clean and the fuser is clean.
From the picture, I'd guess that the wipers inside the toner are
not working, but that would leave background toner on the OPC.
 
I just had a similar problem, but there was background toner
on my OPC. First "new" 20-year-old toner cart was worse. Second one
worked.
