Comment 2 for bug 789925

Before I get started, I have to note that I discovered that it isn't necessarily colored text, but even black text above a certain text size. I created a document with 12 point and 9 point Gentium Book Basic. The 12 point text also exhibited the sloppy look--almost like ghosting. This is a new printer and my first HP at home.

Now on to your request to install 3.11.5:

Assuming Step 1B refers to uninstalling, done.

The printing is considerably better and this is good enough for me as I don't intend to print color images regularly. But as pertains to the bug description, the same problem with settings not affecting output exists. Further, the image mentioned above looks as it did before. I will mail it to myself and try to print it from work on another HP color printer to validate the image.

A new issue also raises its head with 3.11.5. The black lines at the bottom of the image highlight a registration problem between Magenta, which prints slightly higher than the Black line. This is true only in the image (not in a text document for example). The HPLIP Printer Test Page only exhibits this on the HP Logo.

Thank you for the response.
