Changing the background color of a document when printing from a mobile phone to an HP wireless printer generally involves adjusting the print settings either on the mobile device or in the app you're using. Here’s how you can manage this:

Adjust Print Settings from Mobile Devices

Change Print Settings:

• Look for an option related to Print Quality, Color Options, or Advanced Settings. Some apps allow you to change the background color or enable options like Background Printing.

Disable Background Printing:

**1. From Google Docs/Drive:

Select Print Option:

• Tap on the three dots (menu) in the top right corner and select Print.

Change Settings:
