Imageclass MF743Cdw prints too light. How to get it darker?

[Linda_Hagan]

My new (bought in October) Imagelcass has yet to print black in full black. It's very light, almost greyscale.  Color prints fine but the black is more of a grey.  I can adjust print settings when making copies, but can't find a way to make it "print" darker.  I use a PC, not a Mac.  Suggestions?

This did not work for me. However, after removing the printer from setup, I downloaded/installed the Canon driver from https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/color-imageclass-mf743cdw.

The new driver from canon fixed if for me.

Hope this is helpful!!

Has anyone come up with a solution that works?   I print off of iOS and macOS, and I've yet to have this printer print black, despite trying all the settings.   I don't understand why this laser printer can't print black correctly, when every other laser printer brand has no problem printing black correctly.  This is nuts.   Previously I've owned two other brands of laser printers and have never ran into this problem.

I'd call Canon support. It ought to print black. And depending on where you bought it, maybe you can still return it.
