I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

Brother pulls similar shit. My brother printer day my ink is out, and prints shittty pages, but the test page it prints is absolutely gorgeous.

Change the print settings to a higher dpi and/or adjust the density. You might have to fiddle around with some other settings in there to get it how you like it. Generally if the test page prints okay there's something wokny with the print settings for whatever app/driver. Test pages print with preset settings, so they are standardized.

Could be unrelated, and you might just have issues with the printer head, but I've closed a more than a few tickets back in the day for people by adjusting print settings for them (these were brother label printers so YMMV).

Here's a generic KB for doing this on most models of Brother printers:
