Hi @Cesars753,

 

 I'd like to help!

 

To bettCesars753er assist you - 

 

1)Are you able to make black copies using the printer ?

2) What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or devices? 

 

While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page -

  1. Load plain white U.S. letter or A4 size paper in the tray.

  2. On the printer control panel, touch the Settings icon ().

  3. Touch Tools, and then touch Print Quality Report. The printer prints the test page.

Post the Print Quality Diagnostic page here so we can help you further. 

 

You may also refer to this document with steps to fix " Print Quality Issues" issue applicable for your printer -  Print Quality Issues 

 Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
