Hi @Sachinjoseph

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the printing issue. 

 

To better assist you - 

 

1.) Does the copy works?

2.) What's the application that you are printing from?

3.) Have you tried printing from a different device?

 

Print a Print Quality Diagnostic report from the printer control panel, and post here. To print the report, try these steps - 

 

1) Load the printer with plain white paper.

2) On the printer control panel, swipe left on the display, and then touch Setup .

3) Touch Tools.

4) Swipe up on the display, and then touch Print Quality Report.

 

Also, try updating the printer's firmware. Refer to this document for steps - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Have a great day!
