Default Print-outs are dark

Could the printer's driver affect the lightness/darkness of a print-out?

When I look at a JPEG image on the screen, it looks just fine. Bit when I
print it, the image is too dark. I have tryed other JPEG images but the
result is the same. Any help is appreciated.



Suddenly happened or always been darker? Only JPEG's, what about .BMP's?
What about the printer's Test Page (the coloured Windows logo on the top
corner)?

Assuming not an *.icm issue then try printing blocks of the three primary
printing colours (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) using Paint and see if any one
colour prints incorrectly. Or Google for Nokia's Monitor Test and "Print
Screen" the main screen.

I guess that you are using the OEM's ink for your printer and not cheaper
substitutes.
