Hi, there are different settings in the print driver properties that you can adjust to fix this. Certain settings favor photos and images, while others favor text and line art. In the print driver properties, look under the Color or Image Quality tab and change the settings from text to photo or graphics. That should make photos come out better (but it might affect how text looks -- you may have to play with the settings to find the best combination).
