    [Misc] Photo background is printing grey instead of white

    Hi,

    I have a problem with my ecosys M5521cdn.
    When i print a document with text and images from pc or usb the background's color of image is gray instead of white.
    If i try to copy and print the same image from the scanner, the background is ok.
    If I print a document with only text, the print is perfect.

    I used without problems the printer for 3 years (3500 copies)
    I tried to clean the drum and DEV, but the result is the same...

    Could you help me?

    Thank you

    Hi marieddu I have the exact same issue with my M5526cdw. I wonder if you solved it and what was the cause.

      Ok. A few questions. 1: genuine or generic toner. 2: print the Status page and test page and post here. This eliminates your PC and the scanner from the equation. 3: what print driver are you using.

        Check and revert to the previous print driver. If it has updated then it may be the cause.

        If all else fails read the Service Manual!

        If that fails, meet me at the pub and we will discuss it.
