I am trying to print WHITE text on a black sheet of paper. I went into advanced settings and changed to grayscale with color option, but once I hit print, the paper feeds through as though it has no text. Is it possible to get white text to print?

Welcome to the HP English Community --
While documents do not care about font and font color, the printer does not support printing on black paper.
If you are willing to use a bunch of black ink AND if your printer can handle the necessary quality used in a full black background, create a document with a black (or other) background and use a white text font.
Example - Word Document - Black Background - White Text
Word_Black_Background_White_Text_1
