Why is my text blurry when I print?

[mcummings36]

I've gone through the basic troubleshooting for my printer, I have an HP 1400 PSC and it normally works great, but now whenever I print anything, the text is blurry. I haven't been able to figure out how to do the cleaning that you can do, I don't have my manual and there's nothing I can find to tell me how to do it. I changed my print quality to best, and all that did is make it print much slower, it is still blurry. The paper type is correct. Can someone tell me how to fix this please? Thanks!!

Try re-aligning the printer cartridges.

Does it happen with EVERY program you try to print from?

That's what I was trying to do, but like I said, I don't have my manual, and I can't find where to do it, you know where the instructions are on the computer itself. I can print a test page, but that's it. I just printed out a list that was attached to an email I got and it printed fine, I thinks it is just stuff off of the internet.

I aligned my print cartridges and cleaned everything, and it's still printing like crap. Just off of the internet though. Even the text on the bottom of the page, the internet link and the date is perfectly clear, but the text from the page itself is hardly readable. WTH?

All webpages?
