Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

 

 

Let's clean the ink cartridge:

 

  1. Make sure to load plain paper into the input tray.

  2. Search Windows for your printer model name, and then click the printer name in the list of results.

    HP Printer Assistant opens.

  3. Click Maintain Your Printer.

    The printer toolbox opens.

  4. On the Device Services tab, click Clean Cartridges .

    A Print Quality Diagnostic page prints.

Also, please let me know if you're able to copy in color.

 

If the issue persists, you can try aligning the Printer:

 

  1. Lift the scanner lid.

  2. Place the alignment page with the print side down on the scanner glass, and then position it according to the engraved guides around the glass.

     

  1.  

  1. Figure : Placing the alignment page on the scanner glass

    Place the alignment page on the scanner glass
  2. Close the scanner lid.

  3. Press the Start Copy Black button  or the Start Copy Color button  on the printer control panel.

    The printer aligns the ink cartridges.

Let me know if this helps.
