Two Windows 10 computers; each prints differently with same printer

Hello all. I am new right here and have a printing downside that I consider have to be Home windows 10 associated.

I’ve a desktop PC (Acer Aspire TC-710) and a laptop computer (Dell Latitude E-720). I used to be given the laptop computer at first of 2021, however I’ve had the desktop since 2017. I’ve a Samsung CLP-315 printer.

I by no means used to have issues with printouts; something I printed from the desktop, no matter utility, printed out wonderful. Then someday previous to July 2019, relying on which utility I printed from, issues modified in order that printouts had been both wonderful (ex. from Writer) or too gentle (ex. MS Phrase). Then it modified once more; abruptly beginning most likely round July 2019, after I printed from the desktop the printouts had been actually actually darkish, shiny, melty toner darkish.   

I ponder if that is associated to a Home windows Replace.

On the finish of 2020 my pc was having issues so I took it into the store on the tail finish of its prolonged guarantee. Some hardware was changed and the technician reinstalled Home windows 10 and reinstalled drivers. Now every part that I print from this desktop is indistinguishable from black. The toner cartridges are emptying quick. Pages are stiff with melted toner if I print “Regular”. I’ve to print “Draft”, and make any pictures nearly clear so they give the impression of being considerably recognizable when printed.

On the identical time, after I print out a printer check web page, it prints so frivolously that the toner is patchy.

Early this 12 months I used to be given a second hand Dell laptop computer. Once I print from it, it too prints out extraordinarily gentle and patchy after I use “Regular” printer settings. “Greatest” is not a lot of an enchancment.

Identical printer, totally different printing relying on what program is printing, and what pc I am printing from. This have to be a software program problem however I do not know the place to start out trying. I’ve tried to search out the difficulty. Since my mind can not seem to perceive computer systems regardless of greatest efforts, I am hoping somebody right here will know what is going on on and be type sufficient to assist me out with recommendation.

I sincerely respect any help. Thanks prematurely.
