Welcome to HP forums, I see that you want to change the settings to print lighter.

 

Check print settings.

  1. In the software application you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.

    The Print window opens.

  2. Open the Properties dialog box.

    Depending on the software program, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

  3. Depending on your print job, you might consider modifying the following settings:

    • Paper Type: Select the appropriate type of paper, such as photo paper, plain paper, or labels.

    • Print Quality: Increase the print quality from Normal or Draft mode to Best.

  4. After changing the print settings, click OK to apply the settings, and then click Print.

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
