1st: Ensure your printer is updated to the most recent firmware.
2nd: The toner waste tank is located on the top back of the Transfer Belt unit. Since there is no means for a customer to (environmentally) empty the tank, the transfer belt unit should be replaced.
3rd: The Toner cartridge needs to be replaced.
Now, you already did the 3rd item.
The toner waste tank (2nd item) collected excess toner because the Magenta cartridge was probably "bleeding" toner.
The firmware update (1st item) helps to correct the regulation of toner dispensing.
It seems you may have an argument to have Dell send you a free 100K maintenance kit..... provided you are still in Warranty.

Yes, but the fix is usually 3 parts.
1st: Ensure your printer is updated to the most recent firmware.
2nd: The toner waste tank is located on the top back of the Transfer Belt unit. Since there is no means for a customer to (environmentally) empty the tank, the transfer belt unit should be replaced.

Good luck !!
