Hi @halmeer87,

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are facing issues with print quality. I'd like to help!

Check the EconoMode setting

Turn off EconoMode in the print settings for computers with Windows.

In the software application, you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.

The printer settings window opens.

Select your printer from the Printer menu.

Open the Properties dialog box.

Depending on the software application, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then clear the EconoMode check box in the Print Quality section.
