It may be a bad printer, but I suggest that you try experimenting with
different grades of paper.  We had good success with a deskjet running
with somewhat rough 25% rag content paper (that paper is expensive,
too).  The output was noticeably better.  Higher rag content than 25%
seemed to cause too much spreading.
