If I print test pages they look good but documents look like it is out of ink but it is not. Using black/white setup. Why do test pages look good but not my pdf document?
Thanks,
Jeff

@Walleye85, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
I understand the print quality is not satisfactory. The test pages require less amount of ink than the documents you are printing from a computer.
- Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
Try making a standalone copy from the flatbed glass and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.
Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - No black ink, wrong colors, other print quality issues
Make sure you are using HP inks.
Check the ink levels, clean the black ink cartridge up to 2 times(remove the color), and try printing.
Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
