Hi @AriV3
Welcome to the HP Support Community. To assist you better, I would like to know:
- Which device are you using to print?
- How is the printer connected?
-
Try making a standalone copy and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.
Also, Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page
-
On the printer control panel, swipe the display to the left, and then touch Setup.
-
Touch Tools, and then touch Print Quality Report.
If the printer is able to make a copy and print the test page, it means the hardware of the printer is working fine.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
Please click “Accept as Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
