Deskjet F4480 printed full report page does not show any identified defects. However, all documents printed with shadow texts.
How to solve this issue?
I went through all recommended 4 steps , including SW re-installation with no results.
The shadow printing returns every time following changing the ink cartridges. Its frustrating!
If there is no other recommendations please provide me with the phone number of the technical support.

The Full Feature Software is about 137 MB. Do you have high speed internet?

Hi @crazytoad'
The required SW installation step has the following note :Due to the size of this download, HP recommends dial-up (56k) customers order this software on CD due to the long download time. Online ordering is not applicable in all countries.
What does that mean? How can I get the CD?
Thank you

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Which application are you printing from?
- How is the copy quality?
Keep me posted for further assistance.
