HP 8600 not print color

I have a Hp 8600 and I recently changed the black cartridge, the others are setting up those and the printer does not print color more, since I have replaced the black print cartridge (not when I copy or a word in the document). I'm printing off grayscale isn't in printing preferences.

Hello

Thanks for providing the details.

Please try the steps below...

  • on the printer screen, press Setup (wrench), then
  • Touch on TOOLS, then
  • touch the head of PRINTING its OWN.
  • Printer would print a test page, check if all the colors (Cyan Magenta yellow and black are printing).

Now try to make a color copy and check if the colors are printed.

If no colors? then its time to replace the cartrdiges Cyan Magenta and yellow.

Ink level shown are those estimated, the actual level may be lower than what you see on the screen of the printer.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 not print color

    Hi all! I bought a printer HP Deskjet 2540. I installed using the diskette provided to me and does not print color. I use a Mac version 10.9.4 and I think I need to download a driver updated online, but if not, what can I do to get it printing color? Thank you!

    Hi @patrick_doll

    You are able to copy in color? If so, you're probably right about the question has something to do with the software or driver.

    If you are unable to copy in color, please use the following document to solve the problem; Printer cannot print black ink or color ink, or prints blank Pages

    If, however, you can copy in color please complete the following steps;

    Reset the printing system

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

    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?

  • I have HP E809a Officejet of 7000 series, my printer does not print color but black

    dearyeats,

    Start, Control Panel devices and printers, your printer, Printer preferences. Make sure that it set to use all of the available ink.

  • 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 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 officejet 8100 do not print color

    Hello

    Have a new Officejet 8100, which printed color for 3 weeks - only 51 leaves it. All cartridges are 80% full.  After printing of not a few days the color on the printed page was various shades of gray.

    A print test page shows all cartridges different gray printing, except one that prints blues aqua dull.

    Installed the printer on a win xp operating sysem to eliminate software problems on my win 7 64-bit system, but still exactly the same problem, so must be something in the printer, I guess.

    The ideas of the most popular resolution, or look back at the store would be the next step.

    See you soon

    Hello NZLee,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see your Officejet 8100 color will print does not correctly, you can try to clean the print heads. For the steps to clean and other steps, take a look in this HP document: Troubleshooting print quality problems.

    I hope that the steps above help to get the print color correctly again.

  • Does not print color

    First, it started with my HP 6700 (driver ver 2.1) and now I just tried with my HP Envy 7640 (driver ver 2.0) on a 2nd network.

    • It prints color as gray or half-tone scale (don't know what you call it - it's not color).
    • Both printers print test ok colors page from the printer configuration options.
    • Both printers copy ok color documents.
    • Ink colors are in full in two printers (from the printer check ink level option).
    • Only when I try to print color on my computer (tried with both my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air + MacBook Air my wife). I tried printing photos (which is where I first noticed the problem) and Web sites and documents. No color.

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.1 but it started with Yosemite.
     
    I deleted the driver and reinstalled. No resolution of the issue.
     
    I even made a regeneration of permission (just in case). I have all the updates
     
    Thus, it prints but not in color.  Colors print as gray or semitone scale.
     
    A world without color is pretty dull.

    Suggestions welcome ;-)

    Found new driver just released yesterday (25/10/2015), which fixed the problem
