DeskJet F4140: Printer prints wrong colors after updating windows 10

Hi all

This is my first post here on the forums and it's a doozy.

I've updated my laptop last night from 8.1 to win to win 10.  Power seems to work well except my Deskjet F4140 printer. It prints, but the colors are false.  bruises are red, red green, green are "purple", made for an interestng very a first impression. I did all the usual stuff, troubleshooting, test the page clean and align the heads. Uninstall and reinstall to make sure it was getting the windows 10 driver, but alas my problem remains. I tried to find a way to change the mode of compataibility and can't find my file .exe for the printer. I know it's and older printer, but it works like a top and I'd hate to have to replace it because of this problem.

TLR

update to win 10 and colors are off like hell.

Thank you

Robbie

Finally fixed my printer not through HP. What I had to do is access the so-called Godmode on windows 10. It allows to access all the parameters of the user as well hidden and non-hidden in one place. I went down to my printer and changed its functioning as windows 8.1 and it works as it should. You should be able to learn more about the Google's God mode command line script. Thank you and good night.

  • DeskJet D2360: Deskjet 2360 - prints wrong colors, even if the test page seems well

    In 10 (64-bit) Windows, Deskjet D2360 prints the well test page, but the colors aren't any application (documents, photos...). Cyan looks like dark blue. Green also appears dark blue. I just updated the drivers from the HP website, but the behavior remains the same.

    The problem appeared after Windows 10 updates (January 2016 and later versions).

    Print and Scan Doctor couldn't fix it. Help!

    (Suggestion: If your printer prints the test page, why not propose an image file with what the test is supposed to look like.) This is useful especially to confirm colors. If I have a print test and see a few squares of color, how could I know if they are the correct colors?)

  • By using the system restore before computer restart after updating Windows 10...

    I chose to try the upgrade of Windows 10 on my laptop primary.  Because of the long installation times, I started late in the evening then followed finishing (or almost) the update the next morning.  Until I sat down to 'start' I spoke with a friend who had just completed an installation of two heavy day of problems.    Although I am good enough to solve computer OS and software installation problems, I was very reluctant to go forward.   After serious soul searching I elected continue to use Windows 7, I don't really like.

    That's why I chose to use the system restore before restarting my computer needed complete Windows Update 10.  I chose the previous restore point before the update of windows 10 and ran through the entire procedure and then restarted the computer after the restore point.

    Everything worked fine and I was able to do the foregoing... Except that I can't do updates of security that have been uninstalled.   The Windows Update screen repeat "you must restart your computer...". "with the reboot by holding the active button.

    This window doesn't go away even after reboot, and I can not "check for Updates".

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reset this program if I can do all the updates except Windows 10 security.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    By using the system restore before computer restart after updating Windows 10...

    Sorry, System Restore does not cancel the major updates, that's why a lot of automatic updates delete all system restore points. The tool that is appropriate in this case would be a restore Image. If you have not created an image before the upgrade, then you are out of luck.

  • Artifacts and print wrong colors Deskjet D4160

    My Deskjet D4160 print colors wrong in Normal mode. It prints correctly in optimized mode. For example, it will print rose instead of orange. I saw him print pink instead of blue. It prints very well when it is in optimized mode, but not in Normal or fast mode. I installed the brand new HP inkjet cartridges in the printer of the brand. Also I sometimes get artifacts on the page when you print in Normal mode. At first I thought it was because I used off the coast of brand cartridges, but the same problem occurred when I installed HP cartridges brand as well. If anyone can help me with this problem I would be very happy.

    I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue. One thing you can do is to clean the head of printing and cartridges on the Solution Center.

    You can also uninstall and reinstall the software and drivers.

    It seems that the communication between the printer and the computer is not on the same page when it comes to color printing.

    I would like to know if these steps help, or what is happening.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100: Officejet Pro 8100 won't print color after update software on Mac

    I have a MacBook Air with OS X (Yosemite 10.10.3)-.

    When I connect the printer via USB, I was able to print by using the generic drivers on the machine. However, as expected, update software detected an update for HP drivers - I installed.

    And now the printer does not print in color. I checked every setting I can think, but it is still printing in black and white.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Welcome to the @mandikayencforum!

    I have read your current position and the previous thread on how you were not and are not able to print in color from your Mac running 10.10. I saw that already test pages were color printing and would like to know if the test always pages print in color. If they do, a matter for the Mac somewhere, and I have some suggestions for you to do below. If the test pages no longer print in color, please let me know! If the printer is not printing in color when you print test pages, there is probably a problem of cartridge or printer hardware problem.

    1. follow the same steps of @Waterboy71 on your other thread here to reset the permissions system disk and repair of printing: Re: Officejet Pro 8100 refuses to print color (OS X 10.9)

    2. If you still do not have the ability to select the color printing on your Mac, try the procedure described in this post from wisgirl64: Re: won't print in color from my Mac or iPhoto for HP photosmart D110

    If you find that the color print test pages, and the Mac does not give you the options to choose color printing, I suggest getting in touch with Apple support experts to see if they can help fix the problem of the OS X.

  • Printing wrong colors

    My laptop Dell with Windows Vista prints all the wrong colors.  I have two HP printers and they both ugly, washed images identical printing.  Black and white seems OK.  I guess that the problem is in the computer.  The photos look good on the monitor, but then print ugly.  Thank you.

    Printers work fine when it is plugged into a different laptop.  My computer shows the images perfectly.  It's just the prints coming out with wrong colors.

  • Printer does not print in color after installing new ink cartridge

    I have a HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one printer.   Windows 7 is my OS.  I have made no other changes to my computer before this problem.

    My problem:

    I installed a genuine HP brand new yellow ink cartridge in my computer because my other cartridge was empty.  After that I installed a new cartridge, my printer normally goes through an initialization process.  This time he did that.  Now when I try to print anything in color, I get a window that says "ink empty Casrtridges.   To print in color, install the following cartridges: yellow "then turns and she says in that it can only print in black."

    I did a Test print.  I ran "clean cartridges".  I did a 'print align.   All these prints in color, including the yellow.  I also did a color copy and printed the color yellow.   Ink level shows the yellow as a FULL cartridge.

    I have tried with 3 new genuine HP yellow ink cartridges and it still doesn't let me do a color print.  I have rebooted my system, unplugged the printer several times and it still will not print color.

    What else could be my problem?  What else can I try?

    Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

  • PC control is no longer the printer to print in color from the windows photo gallery

    printer will receive the photo of the Gallery, but will only print in black and white.  I printed a test page for my printer without going through the computer and it will print in color.  Also, if I scan a picture and print it, it is printed in color, so I don't think that my printer is the problem.  I think that my computer does not have my printer to print in color?

    I think my problem is in the Windows Photo Gallery rather than on the computer that sends a command to the printer?

    I recently had some viruses removed from the computer and I wonder if in the process of fixing that, the person at the other end may have changed the settings or something related to sending a command from the PC to the printer?  Is this possible?
