Hi @AmBulldog4,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are getting blurry or fuzzy text from an inkjet printer like the HP DeskJet Plus 4152 can be caused by several factors. Here’s a checklist to help you troubleshoot the issue:
 

• Check Ink Levels: Low or empty ink cartridges can cause poor print quality. Make sure all ink cartridges have sufficient ink.
• Inspect Cartridges: Ensure that the cartridges are properly installed and seated. Remove and reinsert them to confirm they are correctly placed.
• Clean Printheads: Over time, printheads can become clogged, leading to blurry prints. Use the printer’s built-in printhead cleaning function. You can usually find this option in the printer’s settings menu or HP Smart app.
• Align Printheads: Misaligned printheads can cause text to appear blurry. Run the printhead alignment process from the printer’s menu or the HP Smart app.
• Paper Quality: Using the wrong type of paper or paper that’s too wet can affect print quality. Make sure you’re using the recommended paper type for your printer.
• Print Settings: Check your print settings to ensure you’re using the appropriate quality setting for your document. Sometimes, selecting a lower quality setting can result in blurry text.
• Update Drivers: Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause printing issues.
• Perform a Test Print: Run a test print or print a diagnostic page to see if the problem persists. This can help identify if the issue is with the printer or specific documents.
