 Fuzzy printingI have an HP CP1215 printer. It is attached to my Mepis computer via USB and is also available to all computers on the home network. The network has both Linux, Mac and Windows.
In the last week, the pages have been printing fuzzy, but only on 1/2 pf the page, the right side of the page. Now, this appears to only happen when printing from my Mepis' boxes. It prints just fine from the Mac and Windows boxes. Toner cartridges are fine and it appears to pick up the paper just fine. Any suggestions appreciated. _________________ There is no "Ctrl+Z" in life!

Re: Fuzzy printing Thanks Henry, scrolled thru a 12 pages and didn't see anything. Searched the printer and 4 bugs, but nothing that seem to fit my problem.

Re: Fuzzy printing Most interesting was the methods used to overcome the printing problems, some of the threads for other printers have some good information. Trying different versions of hplip, testing free drivers etc.
There's even a free driver for your printer: http://foo2hp.rkkda.com/ Henry |

Re: Fuzzy printing I uninstalled the printer, then re-installed. It seems to be print fine now.
The links in the post did not seem to do any for the cure. _________________ There is no "Ctrl+Z" in life!
