why does it print garble

Your lucky if it prints at all. The software provided has never made it print anything for me without 15-20 minutes of grief.

Go to control panel, verify printer is actually loaded and recognized. Go through printer diagnostics and print a test page. Even do a simple flatbed copy as well to prove there are no mechanical problems. If necessary finally reload your drivers.

Are you printing through an Internet browser? Some browsers don't like printing to printers directly. Try a different one and see if that helps. Otherwise if it's not through a browser... I have no idea.

The printing heads may be misaligned. The printer's DVD comes with some diagnostics software. Run those and you should get a more explanatory error code and error message from the printer.

I had similar results when I first got my printer. When the software for the printer is installed, there is an icon that appears in the lower right corner of the notification area. If you click on that, you can set the resolution and darkness of scanned items. That cleared up my problems to where images are clear and crisp.

If you are specifying "grayscale" or "black & White" in the print command, you have right to expect the printer to print it so. If you leave it to s/w to decide whether you need yellow, it won't.

It may be different with your computer operating system with IE when you select print you will see preferences and click on that. You will then see Grayscale click on it and OK

Audio is garbled if you: whisper, speak normally, speak loudly, shout, or any other thing I tried. My friend thought I was deliberately messing it up..it was that pitiful.

If the black is not empty, it will print in black even with one of the colors is empty. It seems all ink is expensive. Sell the printer cheap, and make your money off the ink.

I had to change the settings on my printer to be more vibrant. I don't think it had anything to do with how old the pkg. was. Try to darken your image before printing and "up" the color tones.

I don't know but the printer "decides" that cartridges need to be changed even with little use. We have some of these at our office and they are set to print Black and White only. The printer still forces us to change the color cartridges once in a while.

It works. But remember. The white area is 'transparent'. When you print a picture, the white areas are see-through. I printed a picture with lots of darks and transferred it to a dark shirt, and since white doesn't transfer, it didn't work out right. (Printers don't 'print' white)

try removing the toner cartridge and shaking a little bit. Then reinstall the cartridge and see if the print is more even.

You know, I have noticed the same thing. I haven't tried to make my less fuzzy, I just re-type whatever I'm doing into my new Printshop. Or I use Notepad or Word. I think I still have 1 that I use, but plan to reprint it as soon as I have the time. Sorry I can't help you on this. Seems like there should be a way, but I even tried different fonts and it didn't change the fuzziness. Charlene

I have to say, a company such as HP disables only black printing hiding behind the fact that they have to use Yellow to give the grayscale tones. Therefore forces you to buy yellow cartridges. I couldn't fix it using the software that came with the HP. Unless I am missing something massively, it is a way for HP to extract money from paying customers such as us who made the mistake of acquiring an HP printer. (in this case a L7580)

if the cartridge was not aligned correctly you probably do not work well when printing, to put new cartridges must align well so that the colors are uniform .... thanks.

Sounds like a defective cartridge. Call HP support because they will replace it for free if they determine that is the cause.
