●
The paper may not meet HP’s paper specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Printer paper
specifications.”
●
If the whole page is light, the print density adjustment is too light
or EconoMode may be on. Adjust the print density and disable
EconoMode within the printer properties. See “Print using
EconoMode (save toner).”
Toner specks
●
The paper may not meet HP’s paper specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Printer paper

●
The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has
moist spots on its surface. Try printing with new paper. See
“Printer paper specifications.”
●
The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause
some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
