Why is my printer producing distorted or faded prints?

1. Check ink cartridges for low or empty ink levels.
2. Make sure the paper type is appropriate for what you are printing.
3. Print a test page to check if the issue persists.

If the issue is still not resolved, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Clean the printhead, if needed.
2. Make sure the appropriate driver is installed.
3. Make sure the connection cable is securely connected to the printer.
4. Check the specific printer settings.
