Thank you for the answer!
Let me know when this issue first appears. Maybe you updated your printer software.

It appeared two days ago.

Do you remember what happened before this issue appeared?

The print on the screen is dark but on the printer comes out light.

Could I ask you to open the app that you used to use to print files? like Word app
And open any file to print
Click Print. The Print dialog box opens.

Customer Replay

I just printed a weather app . The color was good but the black and white faded out.

Could I ask you to open the "Print" option one more time, but not to print, I will provide you with further steps, ok?

  • Please, open any file, Click Print. The Print dialog box opens.
  • Click the Properties button. The Properties dialog box opens.
  • Check the options on the property tabs to make sure that the appropriate color options are selected.
  • If there is a checkmark in the box by Print in Grayscale, click in the box to remove the checkmark, and then click OK.
  • Try printing again.

Is everything clear with the provided instruction?
