Hi,
did anyone experience Test Page and photo quality problem with HP d145 printer?
Bought my d145 printer about a couple of years ago, and it has 2 problems that HP Technical support could not resolve. The problems are:
1. Test Page streak across the Black test-band
There is a white streak across the Black test band that I could not get rid of. This is reproduced by doing: Print Report -> Print Test Page. The a couple of pages would print. The 2nd page shows 3 color bands, and a black band. In about the middle of the black band, there is white streak across it. Did someone see the same problem?
2. Photos show grainy images:
I printed lots of photos, using Best resolution. If I look closely at each photo, the grains appear very pronounced, instead of smooth image. I tried HP glossy photo paper, then Epson, then Kodak ... all the photos show grainy (pixels don't blend smoothly). Apparently when I used this printer as new, it was not like this. I cleaned the printer heads many times, etc. but did not solve the problem. I am using WindowsXP, and driver XP version.
