Faint printing, LaserJet 4MP+, and 10.2
Authored by: Don Austen on May 18, '03 05:18:22PM

This problem is not supported by HP, but the fix is as follows:

Go to HPs website.

Download and install the new printer drivers.

(You may do a custom install for only OS X if you prefer.)

Restart your computer

Turn on your printer

Open the Print Center.

Set the top menu to AppleTalk.

Add the HP Laserjet 4 Plus.

Ignore any error message that says there is no information about the printer's configuation.

Highlight your printer name.

From the Printer Model dropdown menu choose HP.

Scroll down to Laserjet 4 Plus v2013.111 and choose it.

You're done.

Faint printing, LaserJet 4MP+, and 10.2

Hi, I know this is an old one, but I'm still having issues.

I've put in the new drivers as recommended above, but, using Word X, I have someone who will get faint printing when clicking on the icon in the menu bar, but perfectly okay dark print when pulling down under file.

It's the same issue in Excel, too.

I tried removing the toolbar and replacing it; no effect.

Has anyone else seen this variation?

Thanks!

anne
