Whenever I try printing the colours are always the wrong colour, sometimes even inverted. I've tried different papers, from normal printer paper to glossy sticker/label paper but the colours are never right. I've also made sure the settings are the correct ones for the paper and files I'm printing. Tried printing from different devices as well to see if that helps, but that doesn't change anything. I calibrated and aligned the printer through the HP Smart app and it said it was calibrated, but the prints are still not correct. 

I tried printing a printable from HP, one print had inverted colours, while the other print turned out a bit better but with too much red.Printed paper with wrong coloursPrinted paper with wrong coloursPreview from the HP printable sitePreview from the HP printable site
