Hi Aaron, This is definitely not a hardware/toner issue. I am constantly having to reboot my box to windows just to print because the greyscales are so bad in HPLIP that I can't even read documents that have non-black text...same printer, same computer, same toner, different drivers windows HP-driver, and Linux-HPLIP-ppd+CUPS. There is definitely something wrong with the hplip driver.
I would like to send you some hardcopies so you can really see what I'm talking about. Would you please send me your snail-mail (work) address?
