Hello bpcogos,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with your Officejet 6500A Plus. If you are receiving a print quality issue, then the only suggestion I can provide is following this HP document here.
You can run the "Clean Printhead Utility" a couple of times until it improves the quality.
If you are still receiving the same issue, then please contact HP technical support for further assistance. Click here to find out: HP Worldwide Contact.
Good Luck.
