Did you set your Preferences to Density 4?

The DJ_Helper program from Creative Focus (can't locate the address in my
typically messy room right now, but it's in the AMAZING guide) is $50 and
WORTH EVERY PENNY. It allows you to create your own greyscale values, to
print in negative at will, to get 66 lines/page (!!!), and much, much more.
It's a MUST for every Deskjet owner; trust me on this. Every DJ owner I have
recommended the DJ_Helper package to has thanked me for it...
