I'm using an HP 6110 printer (rather old tech), and it used to work just fine, with the Compaq PC, and/or others linked to it.

However, now that I'm using a HP laptop (old PC died), when I go to print black and white drawings, and/or line are I've pulled off the net, they come out overly faint, and/or in some cases not at all.

I've gone into the properties area to try to address that, and have let both the system, and/or printer control the printouts. I've also changed the ink volume settings to the darkest one available, and chosen "best" for output. Also tried B&W/Grayscale (just using black ink cartridge), or not, but nothing seems to work.

Any other ideas on how to get B&W drawings to come out like they should, as viewed on the screen?

I suspect the issue is with some settings on the laptop, and not the printer, since printed words come out fine.

Not sure how to fix it, and it is getting tiresome to try to print stuff out, and either get a completely blank page in some cases, or an overly faint, unusable print.

Have you tried printing from different software?

It prints fine from Word, and PDFs for some things, but not others.

Text seems to work fine, in most cases, though I do have one PDF that for some reason is too light to print.
