Anyone owns an HP Officejet 8600?

I just purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I'm not too happy with the print quality.
The best way to describe it is that the Normal quality is very similar to my previous printer's (Officejet 6500) draft quality, and for work documents to get a decent quality with no streaks I would have to use best quality instead of the normal quality settings I was using before.
Also when printing draft double sided, on one of the sides the text is poor quality (like letters are printed twice slightly misaligned), and would have to use normal quality every time I need to use double sided.
I was wondering if anyone else who owns one has the same problems.

I own the HP 8600 PLUS version and I find it perfectly fine when printing on both sides of the paper. No alignment issues or streaking. Print quality is also perfectly fine.
IMO you should take it back and exchange it0
