Print/color Quality Issue
I just changed the yellow toner cartridge the other day, and I don't know if that relates to the problem. However, now when printing the quality is bad - colors are wrong and now there are colored lines on the paper too. Attached is an example and you'll see that the left side of the page is mustard yellow and it should be red like the rest of the graphic - and in the middle of the red graphic there is a mustard colored line that should be red. And the Capitol building picture is distorted where the yellow line runs through it - help!!!
