I am running WinXP and Red Hat and both of them have the same results when printing. I understand my printer should print both ways right to left and left to right on the return. The problem is when it returns it doesn't print it the same darkness as right to left. (printing only in black/grayscale) I am uncertain what the problem could be. I think it could be my printer cable as it's not the original cable that came with the printer but I haven't any other cables to test it out. Could there be any other problem other than this?

Seems an odd problem; the traditional problem with bidirectional printing was registration --- columns did not line up ...	Guest (0)

The cable is a cheap plastic type one. I think it came off a dot-matrix printer we had lying about. I thought since it hadn't been used for a while this might have been the problem but after continuous printing it is still the same. The picture is still visible. Prints black one way then gray the other.	Guest (0)
