2 laser printers have sat unused for about 1 & 2 years. Both printed flawlessly. On re-use they both have abysmal & unusable print quality, the contrast is shot with grey patches all over the place. Is this normal in this time frame? Or must it be due to chemical exposure?

We have an old Samsung monochrome laser printer that was retired when we
bought a networked, colour, laser printer. For a few years it was stored
in the shed, but when it was next used, the prints were awful, with
patches and streaks. Nothing we tried improved it, except replacing the
toner cartridge (and integral drum). It has printed perfectly for the
last 18 months and our eldest son uses it to avoid coming down stairs
for every printout.
