Hi people, my printer for some reason has started to only print the outline of text, instead of filling the letters in. I have tried a factory reset and tried new ink cartridges. Any help would be great. TIA

@Pui8, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Have you tried making a standalone copy and check if the issue persists?
Which application are you using to print?
Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
Check for any updates available on the android device
Use HP Smart app to print from your Android device

I was using the HP app to print. I put in a new ink cartridge and connected the printer to my laptop by USB. It is now printing with no issues. I have now printed documents from my android mobile and these are now printing correctly too.
