@VJCOLE, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

To assist you better, I'd like to know the following-

 

What happens when you try to print regular documents?

Are you able to make photocopies on the printer?

Have you tried printing a print quality diagnostic report? Here is how you do it-

Print a Print Quality Diagnostic report, and then evaluate the results.

  1. Load plain, white paper in the input tray.

  2. On the printer control panel, touch the Settings icon .

  3. Touch Tools, and then touch Print Quality Report.

    The printer prints the Print Quality Diagnostic report.

    Example of a Print Quality Diagnostic report with no defects.

If the quality is bad, follow the steps from the document  Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
