Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that you are getting print quality issues, follow these steps to fix the issue.
Did you make a copy and check if that prints fine?
Meanwhile:-
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page, and then evaluate the results.
-
Load plain paper into the input tray.
-
On the printer control panel, swipe the display to the left, and then touch Setup.
-
Touch Tools, and then touch Print Quality Report.
If that print quality page does not print fine, clean the ink cartridges
-
Load plain paper into the input tray.
-
On the printer control panel, swipe the display to the left, and then touch Setup.
-
Touch Tools, and then touch Clean Cartridges.
-
The printer performs the automated cleaning process and then prints a Print Quality Diagnostic page.
-
If the print quality is acceptable, you can stop troubleshooting.
-
If the print quality is unacceptable, touch OK for a Second-level Cleaning when prompted to continue the next level of cleaning.

Sandy, desculpe por ter demorado tanto para responder. Acabei comprando um novo cartucho de tinta preta. A impressora parece estar imprimindo bem agora. Obrigado pela ajuda.
