Your printer may be printing fuzzy, blurry, or other faint text because of dirty print heads. All modern printers have a self-cleaning mode, which cleans the print heads, and additional internal equipment used in the printing process

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to address the problem:

1. Check the printhead alignment: Misaligned printheads can cause printing issues. Consult your printer's manual or documentation to learn how to align the printhead properly. This step is crucial as it can often resolve blurry or double-printing problems.

2. Clean the printhead: Over time, the printhead may accumulate dirt, debris, or residue, affecting print quality. Use a lint-free cloth or a printhead cleaning pen recommended by the printer manufacturer to gently clean the printhead. Ensure the printer is powered off and follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe cleaning procedures.

3. Verify the print density and darkness settings: Incorrect print density or darkness settings may result in blurry or double-printed text. Access the printer's settings menu, either through the control panel or printer software, and adjust the print density to an appropriate level. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal balance for clear and legible prints.

If anything doesn't work then it's time to get a new printer here.
