Canon MF8580, red over the black text

[RadLab]

When I print text documents with color elements, they print with red text hovering over the black text, producing a ghosting-like effect, making all text (which should just be black anyway) very difficult to read.

As I was adding the photo, I noticed that it's also printing yellow text under the red, where the text should just be red.

I think this is an alignment issue, but I can't figure out how to fix this. Any ideas?

Now when I print double-sided, the text on the back sides of pages looks fine, but the front side still has red over black text. Is there a more thorough way to correct this?
