Windows 10: Poor print quality labels

Hello,


I am getting poor print quality when I attempt to use my H-P Color Laserjet Pro M452DN printer. I am attempting to print from a pdf file that I have saved to my computer. The pdf file originated at Avery, where I made a template, which I saved to the computer. I have tried Adobe, Google and Edge in opening the file.


It used to be that when I would go to print up the labels, I would get a box, one of the selections being "paper type" and there I could select LABELS. I no longer see this and do not know how to tell the printer that I am printing up labels.


When I print up the labels on plain paper, they come out beautifully but when I try to print up a sheet of labels, they come out

looking "smudged for lack of a better word.


I am using Windows 10 Profesional. Thank you for any help!

E51: Voice call quality is poor

I find it hard to believe you are still at 100.34.20.



This is the initial level of firmware issued with the E51 back on Sep. 29th 2007.



You must upgrade your firmware first.



What is your device's Product Code? (It is printed on the label beneath the battery)
