First time print after a time period (likely the printer is in sleep mode), the first page printed is blurred.  Subsequent pages and subsequent printing in same session is ok.  This issue occurs from ALL apps.

What actually happens is that the first page of a print job (right after printer comes out of sleep mode) appears like its content is printed twice on the same page. Subsequent pages are printed ok and so are other print jobs, until printer falls in sleep mode.

Hi, I have tried updating the firmware, resetting etc... The problems still remains. I'm using a MAC Catalina 10.15.5. It happens when the printer is iddle/sleep mode. The first page comes blurred.
