Hell Blake ;-)

What paper are you using?  I wrote a bunch of head alignment utilities for
the 3000, and I found that I needed to use a high resolution paper.  The
lines were really nasty looking on standard paper, which made alignment
nearly impossible, since that ink bleed quite a bit on that paper, and the
high res paper didn't.

I'd suggest you try using some 720DPI paper (or use some decent high res
photo paper...not matte though, but a smooth flat surface) before going much
further.
