GET A DARKER PRINT

[Myosca]

I would like to be able to tell the printer to print my copy much darker.  In my old HP printer I had a facility to 'print darker... /   print lighter '  but such a facility does not appear to be available anywhere now.  How do I alter this ?

Welcome to the HP Support Community

Are you facing the same issue while making a copy?

In the meanwhile, I suggest you do a Hard Reset on the printer

(1) Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

(2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

(3) With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

(4) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

(5) Wait at least 60 seconds.

(6) Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.

(7) Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

(8) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
