I have a KODAK ESP Office 6150 printer connected via USB to my desktop running Windows 7 SP1. The problem is that the output from the printer is very faint and for the most part isn't even printed onto the paper. I'm trying to print the Wikipedia page for Ohm's law, however this is what I get. All pages print like this.

As you can see, it's mostly just symbols from the webpage that get printed.
I've already used the firmware on the printer to clean the print heads, performed a hard reset, and re-calibrated the printer. The relevant drivers are up-to-date and functioning properly. I also swapped out my ink cartridges and USB cable thinking that would fix it, but to no avail. I'm positive the cartridges are properly seated as well. Additionally, I verified that the printer's firmware and my Windows drivers and Kodak Home Suite is up to date.
I encounter the same issues when the printer is using its network interface instead of USB as well. No other computers are able to get comprehensible output. At this moment, I really don't think it's a problem with the the printee PC's because all of my software indicates that the pages printed without error.
My intuition says I'm probably looking at a printer head problem, but I thought I'd try to stump the community with this one before I proceed.
Honestly, it's been too long since the last time I've needed to print something to be able to tell you exactly what changed about my current setup or operating system. All I can tell you is that it definitely has worked previously with this setup.KODAK ESP Office 6150 All-in-One Printer
