How do I lighten contact sheets?

[InsightOne]

I'm printing contact sheets to an HP Officejet printer.  Under page setup I can go to a color tab and advanced.  There I find sliders and one of them is brightness.  Even if I slide the slider all the way to the right (lighter) the densities don't change on the output.  So how do I make the contact sheets lighter?

I'm not familiar with that printer (or its driver) but basically the way it works is the OS provides Photo Mechanic with a printing context to draw into, which Photo Mechanic does draw into, and then the printer driver takes it from there.  Is there a similar slider in the print job dialog?  Maybe you could adjust it there.
