Always light never DARK on Laser Printer

Has anyone else noticed printing from a black-only laser printer (IE: HP  LaserJet 1320)
that you always get like a draft darkness to the printout?  Doesn't matter what kind of
printout (text, or image, or combination), it just won't get any darker (not even with
higher or lower settings - or best quality, etc).

I can print with various 1320 printer drivers.. most of them work very well, but
none have solved this issue for me.

Now if I take that same document, and print it on Windows, the entire printout
is much darker and it doesn't seem like draft.

I am using the normal kernel i386, the latest cups, etc.

I do notice that when I 'systemctl start cups.service' that the
"saned.service", and "saned-color.service" start as well.
Could this be the culprit?

Any ideas?
