Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

Assuming the printer has passed all its Print Quality diagnostics (everything checks out),

Reference:  Black Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

(then)

Essentially, you "get what you get" >> Try:  change the settings before the content prints.

Open the content to be printed

Try the Edit menu > "Adjust" the color settings > Done and Print

The setup might look similar to this example from an older version of the HP Smart app and using iPadOS :

HP_Smart_Mobile_Print_Edit_Color_2

What else?

If you are printing at "Best" Quality, back off to no more than "Normal" --

"Best" uses more ink and might result in a darker printed image.

Paper absorbency impacts how a print is put-to-paper as does the paper type (photo / plain / other).
