HP D1470 Inkjet Printer - printing black is very faint
by GPGAgent from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54WGG)
My HP D1470 inkjet printer is not printing black correctly.
It's connected via a USB cable.
I've done all the usual things which are
1 Loaded the latest HPLIP printer software 3.20.6 and rebooted machine
2 Used a new black cartridge
3 Physically cleaned the print head and the contacts in the carrier and cartridge
4 Cleaned the printer via HP Device Manager menu of HPLIP Status Service app
(Two cycles worth of the three cleaning processes the option executes)
5 Aligned the printheads
This has made no difference.
Colour seems to be okay.
Any other tips before I bin the machine and buy a new printer?
And if I do buy a new printer what should I get - I print about 150 sheets a month.
