  Hi Ngoyi-Malik,

  OK, when you right click and select print work properly?

  If you come to open a different document in your Word and press Crtl P it prints correctly?

  The question seems that it is related to the program that you use for your missions. You may need to continue to press the Maj LTRC P in order to get the color to print from this application program. Let me know if the Word printing works well?

• Inkjet e: 5740 5740 printer does not print color cyan & alignment problem

  Hello

  Recently, I replaced my lights on my P 5740 printer ink cartridge while trying once photograpgh print [6 x 4] & have had nothing more than headaches since.

  The cyan color does not print ink levels indicate that it is used. I cleaned the heads of ink at level 3. I have replaced the ink cartridge & still have the same problem and now the alignment is unsuccessful.

  I'm challenged to begin with technology & this challenge is both frustrating and disappointing that I do not understand what I did right.

  Any suggestions before I have packing the printer & return to Staples?

  Thank you

  HI @RC23,

  Because the printer is only a couple of months I suggest to HP customer care and ask about a replacement printer. Most likely, it is a matter of ink system, since you've already tried another cartridge with the same results. Check the model number and the form to receive a file number for faster assistance.

  Thank you!

• HP photosmart C4480: HP photosmart C4480 does not print colors

  I had other questions on this matter. Changed to the new color cartridge. The printer will print a new alignment page that has the color on it, but all the images or type I try to print in color out just black and white. I don't have an option of black and white levels in my print window. Also do not have a function of options as someone did in a similar question. Impossible to find anywhere in the preferences system, in the window print function buttons printer to specify the color and black and white.

  Never had this problem before using Windows or Mac computers. Printed of this same laptop several times over the years, no problem. This just started happening out of nowhere starts at the beginning of this summer. Same notebook printed in color in the office. No indication I need new drivers, tried to reinstall the printer just to be safe.

  Any ideas? !!

  Thank you!

• MG2220 does not print color even with full cartridge

  I bought my MG2220 all-in-one, of good will. Everything works, I can say so far, but it will not be printed in color, even if my computer detects a full cartridge. It prints black very well. I have XP Sp3 on my computer.

  I have cleaned the nozzles, made a thorough cleaning. Then I found a page, here, that says to remove the cartridges and unplug the printer while it is on and then plug it back again. After that, the statement is to reinsert the cartridges again. I checked to see if there was an orange cover on the bottom, but there isn't.

  After a thorough cleaning, I got an error like this.

  Load the Code 5200

  A printer error has occurred. Thurn the printer off, then on again. If this does not eliminate the error, the printer must be repaired.

  I did as described and it worked fine then.

  Is this possible, I just need a new color cartridge?

  Another thing I've noticed is, I get black on my fingers and attachments, who owns the black cartridge have a little black ink on it.

  Is this all in one, a lost cause? Should I take that back. I have only until next Thursday. Thank you.

  I really want to keep this printer if possible.

  I brought. But, good news, my nephew bought me a MG2290 for Christmas. It is a closed topic.

• Installed new toner, does not print color

  I have a Photosmart 6525 all-in-one printer and the black toner was low, so I bought new genuine HP toner - 564XL. I installed the toner and received a message on my computer thank me for the installation of an original cartridge. However, when I go to print anything, the black is not printing. The toner level shows that the black is full. Maybe I should have bought a non-genuine toner cartridge if authentic one does not!

  FYI: I received help on this problem over the phone. In case anyone else has this problem, what measures are being taken to solve the problem.

  The color cartridges are low on ink, so I had to replace both (because apparently black HP isn't really just black... it's all the colors too. Great way to make us buy more HP ink!). After installing new cartridges color, I cleaned the cartridge heads and realigned. After that, everything worked.

  Hope that helps someone.

• HP Officejet 4630 does not print color

  I am trying to print photos colors from my mac to my wireless printer. The computer and the printer register that there is a color ink cartridge in the printer, but it will just print colored picures. I downloaded and redownloaded the driver, y at - there a step I'm missing?

  I'm glad to hear that it is not the printer @clairej7.

  It probably has something to do with the driver, or the CUPS on the computer.

  CUPS consists of a print spooler and Scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data in a format that the printer will understand and a back-end system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the IPP (Internet Printing) Protocol as a basis for the management of the work of printing and queues. - Source
  

  Whatever it is, to solve this problem, I suspect that the best approach is to reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, add the printer using the driver and try to print again.

  Reset the printing system

  1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

• HP DeskJet 3630 all-in-one: desjet 3630 does not print color

  Hi, I bought a new HP DeskJet 3630 series all-in-one printer today. Setting up the printer I did several tests that show color printing, however, whenever I try to print an image in color (working on my daughters school book) it prints in black and white. I did troubleshooting all I can think of, we have no black & white printing turned on. I'm not quite sure, what else to make sure the printer is brand new and should be able to print in color?
  Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

  Not quite sure what I did to make it work, di, but the cleaning cycle for the cartridges of ink & rebooted several times, and the printer is now printing normally =)

• OfficeJet pro 8000: does not print color Cyan

All the ink levels were 50% or better, Cyan was 80%. Printhead status was listed as 'good '. All HP cartridges. There is problem when printing on Kodak Easy Share, later tried on Photoshop and Microsoft Word with the same results. Help would be very appreciated.

  Hello @roger232 , welcome to the forums!

  I read your post on "Print quality" issues you have experienced with your Officejet 8000, and I wanted to answer you with my suggestions.

  I would recommend troubleshooting using the guide I posted for you below. Cartridges seemed its OK for me personally however, the problem may be with the printhead (s), and it is still possible with a good read to them (as you mentioned). Give a procedure and if the problem persists, call us directly to discuss your printing with HP options. I'll leave details below as well!
