My 7660 produces a faint hatch pattern, noticeable in certain areas of a print. Initially I 
tried no end of cleaning cycles, no change. I only use the HP Premium Plus Matte, and have 
also used Ilford Gallerie Classic Pearl, same on both. I was thinking this was due to the 
reported driver problem, and eagerly awaited an update. I'm using OSX with the 2.3.7 
driver, this was the latest last week. Could this simply be a bad cartridge?
