@milico1, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I see that the printer is not printing in color and the black print quality is not good.

Are you using HP ink cartridges? 

 

Perform the steps mentioned in this document - Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

Clean the ink cartridges up to 2 times and print a test page to check the result.

 

Try making a standalone copy from the flatbed glass and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

 

If this does not help, use alternate/new ink cartridges and check.

 

If the issue persists, please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service/replacement options. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.
