I just replaced the black, yellow and magenta toner cartridges with brand new genuine cartridges and the black print is faded on the left side.
I rocked it as it said to distribute the toner, unless I did it incorrectly?.
What does this mean, good print on other colours would suggest that the other parts are fine and the black cartridge is defective isn't it?
Hopefully not, have I missed something?
 
Solution
May be a bad cartridge, maybe the fuser is going. Try to re-seat the cartridge if you have not. If still the same, you can try to exchange it and see if that helps, if not, next step would be to get a new fuser, although it may also be something with the black toner mechanism in the printer if it's not the cartridge.
