Try cleaning the Printhead and let me know if that helps

 

  1. Load plain white paper into the tray.

  2. Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already on.

  3. On the control panel, touch the right arrow to display the second navigation screen.

  4. Touch Setup, and then touch Tools.

  5. Touch Clean Printheads.

    The printer cleans the printheads.

  6. Wait while the printer completes the printhead cleaning process, and then touch OK. You might have to clean the printheads more than once for the best print quality.

Thank you

I tried your suggestion and the other tests available, yet I still have the same problem.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks,
