HP 3301 help

Pages print darker than expected or with a gray background.

Often caused by paper that has already been through a printer, or by a humid room.

Steps

  1. Make sure the paper has not been printed on before.
  2. Try a different type of paper.
  3. Print again.
  4. Keep the printer within its temperature and humidity range.
  5. Replace the cartridge if nothing else helps.
