Hi! @mykecee, Welcome to HP forums.

 

I understand you need to know how to print darker from your printer.

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

 

Did you make any changes to your printer?

 

Please try the steps recommended below.

 

Check the print settings to make sure they are appropriate for your print job.
   NOTE:
Print settings vary by operating system and software program.
In the program you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.
The Print window opens.
Open the Properties dialog box.
Depending on the software program, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
Depending on your print job, you might consider modifying the following settings:
Paper Type: If you are printing on photo paper, select the type of photo paper you are attempting to print on.
Print Quality: If you are dissatisfied with the quality of your printouts, increase the print quality to best.
Paper Size: If you are printing on a different size of paper than you normally print on, select the correct paper size.
Black and White: If you want to print in black and white only, select the grayscale option.
After selecting the print settings, click OK to apply the settings, and then click Print.

 

Refer this article to further troubleshoot print quality issues.

 

 

Let me know if this helps!

Have a great day ahead! 🙂
