Hi @ttddppttddpp

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

Follow the instructions to change print quality-

Opening the print settings window

Launch the HP print driver window from common Windows applications and learn how to navigate the different tabs and menus.

1. 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.

2. Open Document Properties or Printing Preferences from the main print window or pane to access the HP print driver settings. The button or link name varies depending on the app you are printing from.

   • Microsoft Word: Click Printer Properties

   • Paint and WordPad: Click Preferences

   • Windows Photo Viewer: Click Options... in the lower right corner of the screen, then click Printer Properties... in the Print Settings window

   • Adobe PDF Reader: Click Properties

3. 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.

 4. go to print quality and change the mode from best-draft as per your needs.

• Draft: Lowest DPI typically used when ink cartridge levels are low or when high-quality prints are not needed

• Normal or Everyday: Default quality setting suitable for most print jobs

• Best: Better DPI than Normal

3. Tap Edit.

No it didn’t help with lightening or darkening from ipad. There is no edit button on bottom of print screen.  So cannot change the darkness or even change the size of print which is big. But tanks anyway. ttddppttddpp
