Canon MP210 Prints too light from InDesign

Hi,
I'm having a bit of a problem trying to print. Everything I try printing from InDesign to the canon MP210 comes out very light, almost like it might be in draft mode.
I had tried changing the options and nothing seems to work, the driver settings, as well and making sure the colorsync is selected.
I had managed to get it to print dark once a few days ago, but I can't remember what I did.
I have gone through way too much ink and paper trying to figure this out.

I'm just trying to print labels, so it's just text with a border. I printed from Illustrator, and it prints dark, but there is a bit of a shadow on the text and border. It does the same when I print from a pdf file as well. I had this happen as well when i printed a picture from iphoto, almost like the ink is offset, but i know it's not.
I have a bunch of labels i need to print and i'd like to have them print properly.

If anybody can help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Channa
