Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that the inks are smudge while printing, I am glad to assist you.
Print a cleaning page
The printing mechanism and printing path inside the printer might need to be cleaned to resolve issues like repeating dots, fuzzy print, or smeared toner.
-
From the Home screen on the printer control panel, swipe left, and then touch Setup.
-
Touch Service, and then touch Cleaning Page.
-
Load plain, white paper when you are prompted.
-
Touch OK to begin the cleaning process.
-
Try to print again to see if the issue is resolved,
Turn off EconoMode in the print settings for computers with macOS
-
In the software application you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.
The Print window opens.
-
Click the unnamed menu at the center of the window, and then select Paper/Quality in the drop-down menu.
-
In the Media Type section, clear the EconoMode check box.
