Does your streaky print look as if it is due to too much ink, which

It looks like ink is missing, like one or more horizontal lines aren't
printing. Not smeared ink. Or it looks like it's just printed very
lightly. I did print a multi-page pdf document that has colored headings
and black print on a white background, and after the 3rd of 10 pages all
of the black print was instead printing green.
Then, testing the theory that it might be an issue with Libre office and
maybe its import of .doc files or something, I opened an older .doc file
in LO, and selected the option to print black and white, and it printed
nothing at all on the page. I exported it to a pdf file, and that also
printed nothing, while printing from Atril (mate's pdf viewer). Printed
a test page from the printer and that printed perfectly. Then I opened a
document in LyX and did a doc preview in the pdf viewer, printed 1 page
and it printed perfectly as well.
So, I probably should have experimented a bit more and realized it was
an application issue before filing the bug report -- more specifically
Libre Office. For the most part I can probably work around that or
troubleshoot it later. At any rate, feel free to close this bug report
and I'll remember to use some of my trouble-shooting skills before
filing another one. I'll keep an eye on the green vs black ink issue
mentioned above, haven't seen that one often.
Sorry for the noise.
