I bought a new LaserJet pro 4201dn and cannot for the life of me get a good color print. They come out really dark and across the top of the page about an inch or so from the top there’s a weird streak (Only on the part that is printed on, it does not appear on the untouched parts of the page) that almost looks like something pressed down on the ink before it dried. I have it set to high quality and 600x600 and there doesn’t appear to be any other settings to adjust. It said it updated when I did the setup.
