The cartridges for  your Deskjet 2510 can be aligned as shown in solution six, step four (if you have Windows) in the document here.  I would also suggest cleaning the printheads as shown in step five.

 

If this does not resolve the blurry printing I would suggest going throug all the steps in the document in order.

Did you replace the black cartridge as suggested in Solution 7? Your printer has the ink and printhead all contained in the cartridge, replacing the cartridge will replace the ink, ink delivery system and printhead.  This is likely to be much less expensive than replacing the printer.

 

Also, are you using HP cartridges?  There really is a difference in quality.
