It is either the toner or the Drum. This is often the toner in some cases , ghosting is nearly always a toner cartridge failure in HP monochrome lasers, specifically it is a combination of the drum and the wiper blade in the cartridge You can try a half test. Run a test page from tray 1 and when the page is most of the way into the printer open the toner door. pull the toner out and look at the print on the page. If defect is there then the toner, transfer roller, maybe bad. Most likely the toner. Are you using OEM or a third party toner? If the defect is not there then the only other thing would be the fuser assembly.

Make sure your paper conforms to the specifications of your product. Paper with a rough surface, paper Which has absorbs moisture or thick paper can cause this problem. To see what type of paper you can use, Check the manual of printer , also Make sure you have selected a proper print media in the appropriate printer driver. Try using a new drum.
