Hi! @Nora9000, Welcome to HP forums.
I understand you have issues printing gray or shadows from your printer.
Don't worry I'll try to help you out.
Did you make any changes to your printer?
Does the issue persist when you make a copy from your printer?
Have you tried printing from a different application?
If the copy is working is working fine. Try resetting the print system and reinstall the printer drivers.
Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners, Print & Scan, or Print & Fax.
Right-click (or Control + click) anywhere inside the Printers window, and then click Reset printing system.
Click Reset or OK.
If prompted, type your username and password, and then click OK.
The printing system resets.
Turn off the printer, wait 5 seconds, and then turn on the printer.
Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
In the Printers window on the Mac, click the Add button.
Select your printer from the list, and then click Add.
Update the printer software using this link.
Refer this article to article to further troubleshoot print quality issues with your printer.
