Deskjet copies well but prints poorly.

[Mccoy583]

My Deskjet copies well, but gives poor quality prints from my android. It was fine last week. Any ideas or suggestions? I don't currently have a computer, so I can't do much in that direction.

Hi @Mccoy583,

Thanks for visiting the HP community. 🙂 A very good day to you! 🙂 I read the post regarding printing issues from your android device. I will be delighted to assist you here. 🙂

You’ve done an excellent job on diagnosing the issue from your end. Superb effort and spectacular research were done as well. 🙂 Kudos to you on that score. 🙂 . I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you. 🙂

For better clarity and to assist you better, I would require more information regarding this:

• What app is being used for printing?
• Did you uninstall and reinstall the app and check?
• Did this happen after a software or Android OS update?

For now please try these steps:

• Please uninstall and reinstall the app after downloading the latest one from the google play store and try to print in color and check if it gets resolved
• If you are using HP all in one remote, try HP print service plugin by downloading it from the Google Play store.
• If you are using HP print service plugin then download and install HP all in one remote from the google play store/
