printer driver problem
Asked by
Jim Kaness
HP Officejet 4500 with USB connection to System 76 laptop running Linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTE and HPLIP. Been fine for five years. Starting yesterday anything printed from the laptop (any program, any format) has a faint "drop shadow" effect on BLACK ink only. Color prints OK. Test pages and copies made directly on the printer itself print perfectly OK.
This all started after I installed a supposed "remanufactured" HP 901XL cartridge in the printer. Print results were terrible and I removed that "remanufactured" cartridge and installed a new, in the box, HP 901XL cartridge. Alignment successful.
What confuses me is that test pages and copies made on the printer itself, without involving the laptop, print perfectly OK.
