Prints are extremely dark

dlgiacobini — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 19:45:51 GMT

I have a canon 7110c color laser printer and It's printing everything way too dark. I also have a brother's that prints perfectly so I know it's not my computer or monitor, which a windows 10 pc. I saw a post on changing the printer setting to not let it control anything but I checked everywhere and can't find where to do that and I don't know what it is controling. Please help, I'm lost.

Thank you

Dana
