Our Docucolor 240 is printing black copies in a light gray instead of black even at the highest setting. How do you fix that?

    It is not the toner. We have 2 docucolor 240 machines and run the same toner in both. I think that it is either the toner dispense motor or the auger. If anybody knows how to check/get to these parts, I would be appreciative of that knowledge.

My Dell 1320c Colour Laser Printer prints black as grey. How can I get it to print black?

If you have an extra black toner cartridge, try installing that and see if it fixes the problem. If it doesn't make sure Toner Save Mode is off (in the print driver, under Preferences). If your copies still come out gray instead of black, you may need to replace the Print Head Unit (PHD).

It prints gray instead of black. I set it to econo print and even after changing the setting to no econo, it still prints gray.

Maybe your toner cartridge is bad. Or the transfer roller might be very dirty.
When was the last time your poor printer had a maintenance kit installed?

Document copied in black & white prints

Check Printer Settings in computer for Resolution. if its print resolution is low then it will print very light gray.

Check Toner / Ink Cartridges for ink also.

To check resolution go to printer Properties by right clicking printer (from Control Panel>> Printer and Faxes) .

Canon MX310 - print is gray instead black. How to fix it.

I wish someone would REALLY solve this, but I've found two (time-consuming!) workarounds:

1) Despite using plain paper, tell it you're using "Matte Photo Paper" (this is necessary in order to...) then set the print quality to the next-to-highest level (default is middle of five quality levels). The doc will print in black as it should, not grey.

2) Instead of the above, use the printer dialogue option to print to a PDF file; then open the pdf and print it. It will print in black, not grey!

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Print coming out gray even with brand new HP cartridge

either it could be set in the printer properties to print in gray scale or it could be the lens of the printer that needs replacement as if the lens go weak the prints come out very light.

Xerox docucolor 12 copy/print printing all black

Hi,
If you moved the printer, make sure the conections from the printer to the Fiery are secure. If loose the prints will be black but when copying will be fine.
