It may be your toner. The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) says your toner is Polyester Resin based. Look up your toner cartridge on this Web site.

I use an HP P1606 that works fine. The toner is Styrene Acrylate Copolymer based.
I've found the Polyester Resin toners don't work very well.
When I look for a printer for Toner Transfer, I take some Glossy Laser paper to Staples or Office Depot and have a demo page printed. I take this home and transfer a small sample to a PCB to see which printers work and which printers don't.
