HP Deskjet 3050: Problems with printing in color?

Hi all, I have problems printing in color. No idea what to do. Here's the problem: I'm trying to print in color and the colors look darker on one page, my colors are fine then saw green to halfway through until its finished. On another page, the colors are ok, but some colors are missing.  I tried the cleaning test, the colors seem to come out ok! Tried to see the ink and the remaining portion. It seems to be more left black and yellow, cyan and magenta. No idea what do then, never had this problem with the printer before. Thanks for any help!

Looks like you have a cartridge that is short of magenta or default.  This can happen to cartridges that are very old, even if they still have ink or third party cartridges that were not filled out properly.  The steps of troubleshooting in the paper here may help, but I suspect that you need a cool color cartridge.

    Problem running on this series with the Magenta.  Yellow it is possible also, but more than likey you have a bad toner.  See instructions attached on how to fix.  A lot of work but not so hard.  Usually I leave the track of wire black plastic which crosses the upper part as it is a bear to get back up and is not necessary.  A couple of tie wraps will do the trick.

    I have a few suggestions that will work if everything goes well for the printing problem. Before attempting any software below, please make a copy or two out of the façade of printers to test the equipment. If the copies appear to work correctly, continue with the steps of software!

    1. Mac OS X: how to reset the printing system
    2. Repair disk permissions
    3. Restart the Mac.
    4. Install the driver full features here: HP Deskjet full feature software and drivers - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8

    Try to print from where ever you and also try printing of text editing. Let me know the results!

  • Connected HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus status reads "problem with printer."

    I could just ePrint on an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus replacement and them have not used for printing yet. I was in the devices page to manage the settings and change an address for one of my devices. The newly added column 8600 State reads 'Online', but also 'problem with printer '. Instructions I was referring to the display panel of the unit for Outlook2003 on the given problem. A check of the display surface showed no information, just a typical home screen. I checked through the display print and found no problems-all functionality is enabled and fully functioning. I checked then the functions of printer in the window 'Printers and devices' of all computers (all running Windows 7 Professional) on the office network. The 8600 are active and full functionality works correctly between the printer and all the computers.

    I then close the printer 8600, left for several minutes, and then lit it back and reconnected. The State says 'Problem with printer' remains in the device window HP.

    I am at a loss as to what this supposed problem can be and don't know what should be a next step. Does anyone have any advice or information that could help in this situation? It would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to those who could help

    HP support responded to my question by e-mail. I was told that the message 'Problem with the printer' is due to a bug in their system. Also said that as long as the status column indicates the printer is "Online" and everything else is fnctioning correctly, don't worry about this.

    I consider that a resolution of the post!

  • I have a problem with printing on Windows Vista.

    I have HP desktop with Microsoft Vista operating system.  The printer I have is HP Laser Jet P1006.  1 months ago about the computer wouldn't print or download an attachment to an email.  I uninstalled the printer and re-installed, but the problem persists.

    What happened, it was this.  With an email (from gmail.com or hotmail.com) once I clicked 'print', the normal menu for printing that should go up.  Then I clicked 'print', the monitor would show a display of the menu "save under" and showed the formulations of XPS as 1 line and XPS Documents like the following line.  When I chose the option search for a printer and typed in the name of the HP Laser Jet P1006 printer and click "select", the system responded to that file name is not valid.

    Please explain what was wrong and how to fix these problems with printing and download of attached file.

  • Problem with printing pdf from Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Hello

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.3.

    PDF-print has always worked a lot, but all of a sudden, there is some kind of problem.

    After you print a "Print to PDF" built-in excel document in MacOS or Adobes printer I have PDFs corruptet when showing them in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but MacOS software preview shows them correct.

    So there can't be any problem with printing, but the local preview on my computer using Acrobat or Reader. I don't even use the Myriad in document police, I use Verdana.

    screen.jpg

    You say you use Verdana, but you're not. The error message clearly indicates that you use MyriadPro "BOLD".

    You probably recently installed Mac OS X 10.6.7 update that has a bug with OpenType PostScript as "BOLD" MyriadPro fonts. Use the Verdana or another font TrueType or PostScript, or come back to Mac OS X 10.6.6.

  • HP Deskjet 3050: deskjet 3050 does not print the JPG files in color - all other documents are printed only in black and white

    Dear all,

    I have a problem with my Printer 3050 Deskjet. (USB connected with my laptop).

    My printer does not print documents colors in color, but only in black and white (with the exception of JPGs (photographs) which are printed in color.

    Word or PDF documents (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if they are in color.

    Copy of pages in color on my printer is not a problem.

    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.

    Cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.

    Could the problem be associated I could have changed by accident print settings.

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Apart from the mentioned measures check the dates of warranty on the cartridges as shown here.  If they are years of the warranty period, is it possible the cartridges have failed, even though they were new in the box.  Also gently pat dry the printhead on a damp cloth to ensure that there are stripes of color cyan, magenta and yellow.  If there is not a task of strong color on the fabric the cartridges are probably the cause.

    The only black test page confirms that the issue is in the printer or cartridges, not with the computer or the drivers.

  • Problem with printer HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515

    Hello. First of all, I would like to wish all a happy new year!

    I recently bought a printer HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3515. The printer works fine (prints, scans, and copies). There is only one problem with it. It returns me an error when I l ' turn off. This happens very often, but not always, it is a little annoying. The error appears as: ERROR CODE SM_MODULE C 0X02B7C2ED (the error is also shown on the image). I tried to Google the problem but without effects. I don't know what could be the problem. Can someone help me please, because I have no idea what could be the problem. Thanks for the replays.

    This problem has been resolved. It was my router D - Link DIR-615 which was causing the problem all the time. When I changed the router to another at the beginning of the printer stop normally.

  • HP Deskjet 3050: Problems installing ink cartridges

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-in-one J610 series. I purchased & installed a black cartridge 61 and see the message on my printer: "authentic black HP print cartridge installed - ok. However, when I try to click on the button next to 'ok' nothing happens. I try by clicking New, or the one above (as in, maybe I clicked on the wrong button), and I turned my printer and turn it back on. Nothing changes. I'm unable to complete installation of ink cartridges and print anything.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    Hi @TwoCharacters

    It's almost that the Ok button is not responding, or only works intermittently. You took the message of cartridge which means it must have admitted you pressed OK. What happens if you just keep trying to press OK, maybe try a little more pressure when you press it, or hold down the key longer than you should have to. Looks like it may be a hardware problem, you may consider giving us a call.

    If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.

    HP printers usually have a warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase, you can check the warranty using the following if you wish; guarantee cheque.
