@mshahid85, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

You have an option to print in Draft, Normal and Best mode. This can be done on the computer you are using to print. Make sure HP Full featured driver is installed on your PC.

If not, click here to download the driver for your printer.

Refer to this document to check the print settings.

Check Print quality and improvement settings, Ink and toner handling settings.

Let me know how this goes.

You can try changing the Print Quality settings and check if that helps

- Open the document or photo on your computer, click File or the menu icon then click Print.

A Print or Print Pictures window or pane opens with general print job settings, including the menu to select the printer you want to print 

To view the different settings, click the tabs along the top of the window. To access more settings, click the Advanced button that is often located on the Layout tab.

Figure : Example of a printer Document Properties window

- Go to Quality Settings or Media menu on the Paper/Quality tab. Print in Max DPI or Output Quality menus are available on the Advanced tab or in Advanced Options

Try printing from the HP Smart app and check the print quality

To download and know more about HP Smart, click here

Apart from these, there is no other option to increase the intensity of the printouts.

Keep me posted.
