• Scanner problem: gray background

    From Shanen@VERT to All on Thu Jul 20 01:01:00 2023
    Hi all,

    I still have an HP 2620 All in One printer that I use mainly for its scanner under GNU/Linux. Recently, the scans started to have a heavy grey background which consumes a lot of ink when printing.

    I was able to resolve this issue by increasing the brightness in Simple
    Scan's preferences, but another Smart Tank All in One printer didn't need
    such an adjustment.

    So I'm wondering what may have caused this. Have you experienced something similar? Could it be that the lamp is starting to die? If so, would changing
    it be a good idea?

    Thanks in advance.
