Welcome to the HP support community.

Did you make a copy and check if that prints fine?

Meanwhile:-

Run a Print Quality Diagnostic report

1. Load plain white paper in the tray.

2. Print the report.

   • Printers with a touchscreen or menus: On the printer, open the Settings or Setup menu, touch Tools or Reports, and then touch Print Quality Report or similar.

Run the automated printhead or ink cartridge cleaning tool

Clean the printhead and cartridges to resolve print quality issues including incorrect colors, streaks, and faded prints.

1. Load plain white paper in the tray.

2. Run the cleaning tool.

   • Printers with a touchscreen or menus: On the printer, open the Settings or Setup menu, touch Tools or Printer Maintenance, and then touch Clean Printhead or Clean Cartridges.

3. If the page that prints has defects, the printhead might be badly clogged. Run up to two more cleaning cycles.
