    Prints are way too dark on Win10, works fine on Win7 (Samsung ML-1670)


    Looking at your printer spec, the print driver is not available for win 10. I don't use a laser printer only inkjet so I'm not familiar with your set up. With dark prints compared to on screen it would indicate that the monitor is over bright and a monitor calibration was required. Sorry, not much help - I know. Win 10 has a native driver for the ML 1610, have you tried that?

    I bought a Samsung ML-1670 monotone laser printer back in 2012. The printer was working fine until I upgraded to Windows 10.

    Now when I print a gradient that goes from white to black the black point in the print is in the middle of the page even though it should be at the edge. Text prints out fine because it's usually all black but all images look horrible.

    Here's the problem illustrated

    This problem has been haunting me for months and I've been unable to fix it. I've tried resetting the printer, reinstalling drivers. Installing Samsung optional software and then uninstalling it once it didn't help. I've even changed the toner cartridge. I've tried out every single option in the printer settings, but none of them change the outcome at all. At one point I even reinstalled Windows, and IIRC the problem went away for some time but came back later.

    The only thing that helps a little, is printing in Photoshop and using the setting "Photoshop manages colors", then setting the color profile to eRGB. But even then the outcome is washed out and nothing like the source image.

    The printer used to work fine when I was still using Windows 7.

    I'm not sure that's correct.

    ML-1670 16PPM Mono Laser Printer (ML-1670/XEU) | Support | SAMSUNG UK

    The Windows driver isn't specifically listed for 10, but some of the files in the installer appear to be newer than the release date of Win 10.

    If the proper drivers are in place, I don't know why the printer calibration would be off. Nothing like that happened with my two Brother lasers.
