Product: HP DeskJet 3634 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: macOS 10.14 Mojave
I have two problems.
- Can't print anything but JPG and TIFF files. Printer won't print PDF's. If I try to print a PDF, the page is blank.
- I export the PDF as a JPG and Tiff. Then if I print a JPG or TIFF file, everything is an outline. It is just outlined text with white.
I have tried everything, downloading new software, restarting the printer, cleaning the cartridges, running the clean printer thing, EVERYTHING. HOW CAN I FIX THIS PLEASE HELP.

Hi,
I would suspect any print quality problem to cause a such, let's print and evaluate a printer status report:

May you see any specific color missing in the printout?
Assuming the answer is yes, please follow below steps to troubleshoot a such:
