A940 Printer too dark

Hi all.  Brand new to this forum,  so I hope I am posting in the right area.
 
What I have is a Dell A940 printer which, when first used, couldn't be beat colorwise.  I noticed the last few months that it is dark enough where detail like a person's hair can't be distinguished.  Just a dark blob that blends into a dark jacket for an example.
 
This thing was beautiful about a year ago.  I have replaced ink, as it ran out, and cleaned the printer, but that didn't phase it.  Besides, this problem came before I actually needed any new ink.
 
Colors are true and all of that, it is just that I can't find any way of adjusting the brightness, contrast, color, or hue. 
 
Anyone know what I am fighting?  Is there some adjustments someplace that I am missing?  This printer was supposed to be the top of the line when I bought it.
 
Being a computer "non-geek", I have a hard enough time without trying to figure out what is wrong here.  Ha ha.
 
Thanks in advance for any input. 
 
Jack, newbie.
