[SOLVED] How to fix Dell C1760 Printer

[BobMor]

Odd problem:

1. Created word-processing document (doc1) last week - it printed ok (grayscale and color), and continues to print ok.

2. Created word-processing document (doc2) this week - it's print is very faint (grayscale and color).

3. I can copy text from doc2 into doc1, and it prints ok.

4. All 4 color cartridge levels are ok.

doc set to print draft?

doc set to print draft?

No, doc1 and doc2 are both set to standard color print, which I use for all my printing.

Thinking it might have something to do with my word processor - OpenOffice 4.1.5 - I switched to MS Word, but got the same problem. Then I moved the doc2 text out of doc1 into a new document, but got the same problem.

So far, the only way I can print anything is to copy and paste it into doc1.

using same font?

Yes.

Found the answer - turn toner saver off. (Under "Printing Preference" / "Others" tab / "Advanced Settings" / "Image Options" / "Toner Saver".)
Thank you for taking the time to work with me. Actually your questions helped point me in the right direction.
