I remember in the old days, one could sometimes get more out of a toner cartridge by taking it out and shaking it. The shaking redistributed the powered toner.

It's free, so worth a try?

Yes that often works wonders (a side to side shake does most)

I suspect with an old laser that's been sold off very cheap the issue may be more than just toner, but the shake is definitely worth trying!
