Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

After the reset, use HP Smart app to setup and connect it to the network.

Hi,

 

What device/app are you using to print?  If it's a WIN 10 pc, do ensure that the updates are current.

 

Black and White print are driver settings that can be controlled.  If it's able to print, the printer is not spoilt. (unless the printouts are bad which could meant a defective print cartridge or printer PCA part is defective)

 

Is the printer connected wirelessly and is it very far from the router?

 

Were you able to print some Diagnostic documents from HP Smart app?

 

Thanks.
