Printed page looks like gray on white, not black on white

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Did you make a copy and check if that prints fine?
  • Are you printing from your phone or computer?

If you have already performed the steps from the document: Fixing Poor Print Quality and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure. Please reach out to HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer. HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
 

Hope this helps!
