I gave a phone call to HP, and they advised me to use the copy function,
since it's an all in one printer. And there was no gray background on the
copy, so at least it's clear it's not a hardware problem. What caused it is
still a mystery (maybe the fact that I added a "smart tank" printer), but
it can be solved by a simple preference modification.
