Brother mfc-5460cn terrible print quality

I chose an image - looking down toward a Rowboat on the sea as a test print, you can imagine the wood, the color, but on printing(as with any image) it comes out lacking correct color, it's all washed-out looking and very Yellowish all over, like it's been yellow filtered! I'v checked all that I know to check, but no answer! they are new print cartridges, gone through the usual clean command, and test prints~ help!!

Does it copy an image correctly? if it does than the problem is with the driver or your computer. in the setting menu try turning off the "true to Life feature as this can sometimes cause this kind of problem

Had a paper jam cleared it and now prints blanks? help please urgent as I need to print urgent documents

Try a few cleanings. Press the ink button then chose test print then quality by pressing menu/set, it will print a test page, from here you follow the instructions if the quality is bad. It will take you through a cleaning process. Try doing a few cleanings to resolve the issue.

At Officemax or other electronic stores, they sell a product for about $50.00-$100.00 that sets up your printer to print wireless. I bought mine from office max for 79.99. It works great when im not in my office.
