Does anyone know what is wrong with my printer?

I bought a samsung CLP415 refurb off ebay a few months ago. I've been printing shipping labels and documents with no problem, or that I've noticed at least.

 

I started printing out images now, and the right side has magenta all over it. It tends to mainly happen during shadows and greys. I took out the magenta cartridge, and I cant see anything wrong with it from the outside. I think, and hope, the magenta cartridge is the only problem, but I don't want to buy a new cartridge, and then have it turn out that it was something else causing the issue.

 

Here is a few pics to show what is happening

Not enough cyan and yellow is getting to the right side, how unfortunate.

It could be the cartridges, but I have no idea, take it to an OfficeMax/Staples/OfficeDepot

Run tests and cleaning prodecures available in printer driver. If that continues then change cartridges.
