Mosaic-Like Patterns in the Prints
When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.
The Printout Problem Could Not be Cleared
If you have tried all of the solutions and have not solved the problem, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the
printer driver.
