The Strength parameter behaves in a weird way with my GB03 printer. If I put it almost to the top of the slider, instead of printing darker, the printout is very light (almost non legible). If I continue and put the slider to the top, the printer does not print, because I get a TypeError:

Putting the bar back to default position allows to continue printing.
