Your HP P2055dn may be set to print in draft mode by default. You have to change this setting to normal or best quality to get a darker output. Here's how:

1. Open the MS Word file

2. Press the Ctrl + P keys on your keyboard

3. Click Properties

4. Under the Media dropdown box, select Normal or Best Quality

5. Print the file when you are ready
