Solution 1: Check the print settings
Solution: Check the print settings.
•Check the paper type setting to make sure it matches the type of paper loaded in the input tray.
•Check the quality setting. Use a higher quality setting to increase the amount of ink used for printing.

Cause: The paper type or print quality settings were set incorrectly. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution: HP recommends that you use HP Premium Papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for the product.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing images, use HP Premium Plus Photo Paper.
Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo paper to the plastic bag. This will prevent the photo paper from curling.
