This is a very involved question. Laser toner cartridges can develop many issues use, misuse and mishandling as well as in shipping. If the cartridge won't fit into the printer it is best to first there are no obstructions in the printer, such as paper jammed paper or something. Then check the cartridge against your old one to make sure it is indeed the same cartridge. With some of the newer cartridges, the difference between, for example a HP 1200 high yield and a Canon FX8, is so slight that it might take you 5 -10 mins to spot the difference and no matter what you do a HP 1200 will not work in a Canon FX8 unless it is correctly modified by someone with both experience and practice.
If it is a print defect then it could be anything. If it is printing light and you just installed it, then it is probably defective. If you were using it a while and the print is getting worse it also may be defective but it could also be from a dirty printer, the kind of paper you are printing on or using and about 10 other things.
If was working fine for a while and now it is leaking toner slightly on to the page, it may be because you have used it all up and the waste bin is full and having problems, which mean it is time for a new one.
Outside of the basic stuff a lot of things can mess up a cartridge. Dirt, paper dust, hair, paper clips, continued printing with heavy weight paper or the wrong kind of paper, dropping, banging or shaking a cartridge can all cause issues.
To really know what is wrong I or any experienced technician would have to see a copy of the print defect, usually the cartridge and occasionally the printer. The good side is most issues, in my experience, are usually just troublesome but are easily and quickly fixed without any real issues.
Also, if your printer keeps jamming incessantly, then it may not be the cartridge at all but your printer. After so much use the printers fuser or pickup rollers will start to fail and you will incur all kinds of different issues. Don't toss the printer if it starts to fail with one of these issues, both the fuser and pickup rollers can be changed easily by a experienced technician.
