Kyocera Ecosys P5021cdw prints blurry PDF

[AlexAlex]

Greetings. My Kyocera Ecosys P5021cdw is printing PDF strangely. Here is the picture below. It prints as if something is wrong with the brightness/contrast settings. There is a gray background around all the words. It prints like this only in color mode and only with PDF (no such problem with other files like DOC).
What tried to do :
1) update the printer firmware
2) reinstall and update the drivers
3) Tried a huge number of brightness/contrast color settings.
Perhaps you have encountered this problem. Thanks for your help

Hi Alex

I have the same Issue with my Kyocera M5526cdw. But i have it with all types of files, all image files, word documents, pdf's. I dont have it on tekst parts, only with images. The same grey boxes around image lines. I tried firmware en driver updates. Other laptops, ... nothing helps. It startet 2 months ago.

Same issue here, with P5021 and PA2100. Nothing I can do to fix it.

Try printing from a different PDF viewer (like Adobe Reader) and check the color management settings on your printer. Also, try printing in grayscale to see if that solves the issue.

In my case I don't believe it's a settings issue, since both printers were printing fine, until this happened. After 12K pages on the P5021 and after 3K pages on the PA2100.
