HP Envy 7640 Printing Blurry

[aussy]

My Printer is printing emails and off the internet in double vision.  It is blurry.  I've tried alignment, cleaning printheads and replacing the cartridges.  Not sure what else to try.

This did not help, it is still printing emails and some internet stuff blurry.  For example, I opened an email and can read it fine, it is clear, but when I right click and choose print, the print page that comes up with the options is  blurry, and it prints blurry.  Not sure if this is a problem with a windows setting?

Hi @ aussy,

Thank you for your reply, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that the issue still persists after following the steps provided in the previous interaction.

Please let us know if the Print Quality Diagnostic report printed fine or not.

If the Print Quality Diagnostic report printed fine, then you need to update the firmware from the link: Firmware Update

If the Print Quality Diagnostic report is also blurry, then it could be a hardware issue with the cartridge or the printer.

Let me know if this works.

You have a good day ahead.

The diagnostic report was fine.  I also tried to update firmware, and it says "up to date".
