Default Network Printing Problem - 03-15-2007 , 08:03 PM






I have an HP 932C printer connected to a Win98 SE computer on my Linksys
home network. I often use my Win XP computer (wired) to print on this shared
printer. Today, when I print from the XP computer, the printed text is not
clear. There's a gray shadow behind each letter, making it look 3D.
Interestingly, it's only on the black text. Colored text is clear and sharp.
Printing directly from the Win 98 computer is perfect. It's just when it
goes over the network that it doesn't print clearly.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks!
Scott

The printer may need calibration(Cartridge exchanged?). In high quality text
the black letters are underlaid with grey from the color cart, could be
misaligned here. Also try printing in normal quality, this is strictly
black.
I had the closely related DJ3820, with a bug in high quality, which would
cause somttimes the black to be omitted for a whole line, with only barely
visible grey text.

Corvus,

Come to think of it, just before this happened, I took a black cartridge out of
a 932C I bought on eBay (and was storing) and put it in this printer. I'll check
the calibration. Also, when I select "black and white" instead of "color" printing,
it prints just fine.

Corvus,

Problem solved! I remembered that the color had not been printing accurate colors
for awhile, so I replaced the #78 Color Print Cartridge...and now the text prints
perfectly...and the color is excellent.

Thanks for you help!

Scott
