I had (still have one in a box somewhere upstairs) and the calibration card was not a sheet of paper but looked like a 5x7 glossy paper that one half white and half black. You insert the white part first and then the calibration occurs as it scans the black part. As to cleaning the sensor, IIRC, there is a mirror prism that gets dust on it. The original Photosmart came with one of those air bulbs that you squeeze and you just have to blow the dust off. I wouldn't try more agressive methods until I tried this first. As to why the 150 dpi is sharper, don't know but I suspect it might be due to improper calibration.
