Printing documents - text is blurred.

I have an Epson Stylus SX215 printer/scanner/copier.

I have noticed when I print something, the text is blurred with the shadowing to the left of the text.

In simple terms, how do I stop this?

    Sounds like a clogged cartridge head or a sign that the cartridge is running out of ink. Try running the printers cleaning utility. Unfortunately I can't tell you how to do it on your specific printer, but instructions should be in the manual.
    How do I add a signature?

    I don't know if modern printers have a print-head calibration option? With older inkjet printers, this used to happen and you would go through the calibration process to correct it.
