Printer is using to much color

Hi,

For some reason my printer, the Samsung CLX 3175, started using wayyy to much toner. The layer of color on the paper is about one millimeter thick, you can feel it when you stroke over the paper.
I think it started when I updated to Windows 10. After the installation I installed the drivers with the CD that came with the printer, as I did every time. 
Then I tried the newest drivers from Samsung´s website, and uninstalled and reinstalled them a couple of times. The only thing I haven´t tried on the software side is to do a fresh installation of Windows.

Also, when I change something in the settings, for example the saturation, nothing changes on the paper. 
I believe it has something to do with my PC/Windows 10, I tested it with two other Notebooks with one running Windows 7 and the other one Linux and everything was fine. Also when I copy something with it it´s also printing normal.

 

I wasn´t sure where to post this question, there seems to be no forum dedicated to printers :D

Thanks for all answers :)
