I recently saw two sets of Deskjet output.  ONe looked great, the
other was kind of blurry.  It looked like either the wrong paper
had been used or too much ink came out.  Has anyone noticed this
as a common problem or was this just an isolated case?

Most likely the wrong type of paper.  I have never noticed any smearing on
good laser-printer or even on decent copier paper.  However, using regular
"computer paper" is a no-no.. The paper is made for dot-matrix printers, and
will soak up the ink too much, and it becomes "fuzzy" (not really a good
description, but, hey!)
  Also, if the printout has large graphics (large filled areas), then cheap
paper will cause wrinkles as well as smearing.
