Printing too dark

[Humphrey2]

I am printing my annual christmas letter which includes photographs on my Photosmart 7520.  I am using bog standard inkjet paper.  Why are the photos so dark?  Can I adjust brightness?  On a previous printer, I could do this but there appears to be no such option.

Hello, @Humphrey2 – Hope you are well 🙂
 

Welcome to the HP Forum! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips!

I understand that the printer is printing the pictures too dark. Please try the steps here to change the print driver settings: http://hp.care/2qkb5BZ

If the issue persists, please try to reset the print systems to reset all the print settings to its default state. Here are the steps:
 

• Click the Apple menu icon, and then click “System Preferences”.
• Click “Printers and Scanner” / “Print and Scan” or “Print and Fax”.
• Right-click the blank space in the Printers list, and then click “Reset printing system”.
• Click “Reset” in the confirmation window.
• Enter an administrator username and password, and then click “OK”.
• Wait until the printing system is reset and no devices show in the Printers list

• Restart your computer and then go back to System preferences – Printers and scanners.
• Click the “Add button” (+).
• Find, and then select the name of your printer from the printer list, and then click “Add” to add your printer. Do not select an HP Fax driver.
• Click “Print Using...” or “Use”, and then select Secure AirPrint or AirPrint. Alternatively, you may select the name of your printer if available in that list.

Let me know if that helps!

Good luck 🙂
