Imaging Drum (HP 32A) has 18,000 pages left
Brand new Toner Cartridge (HP 30X)
Set at 1200 dpi
Printed page looks like gray on white, not black on white
I had to run printed pages through Canon photocopy machine at max-Dark setting to get readable page.

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!
