Hi @Dinael

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.

 

Try making a standalone copy in color and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

 

For now, let us try these steps:

 

Check the estimated ink levels

On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Ink icon. Replace any low or empty ink cartridges.

 

Update the printer firmware

Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

 

Clean the ink cartridges

  1. On the control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setupicon.

  2. Swipe up on the display, and then touch Printer Maintenance.

  3. Touch Clean Cartridges, and then touch Continue.

    If the print quality is unacceptable, touch Clean Again to continue the next level of cleaning. Repeat these steps for the third cleaning stage, if necessary.

    NOTE: 

    If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes before you perform both levels of cleaning again.

    Also, perform step 13 from this document.

Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page

  1. On the control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setupicon.

  2. Swipe up on the display, touch Reports, and then touch Print Quality Report.

  3. Examine the color blocks for defects.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
