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 4630: HP officejet 4630 does not print

    My printer is not printing. When I try to print now come but it dose not print. I tried to print from 2 computers and same problem. Also tried turing the printer works but the problem persists.

    Hi @MichalP,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printing problem.

    I understand that you use a HP Officejet 4630 e-all-in-one printer with a computer Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and the printer will not print even though it now says "Printing". I would like to help with that.

    You mentioned that you tried a second computer and it did the same thing. The second computer is a Mac as well?

    I would start by doing a Reset of the power on the printer. Maybe the printer is in an error state.

    It looks like the image that you tried to load didn't download successfully so I'm not able to see what it was.

    Please let me know if the power reset helped, or if you need further assistance. If you need to return, please indicate which operating system and uses the second computer.

    In fact, if it helps you to find a solution, please click on the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

  • OfficeJet 4630 does not print on the network

    My printer print is no longer on a network connection, a USB connection. For example, when I try printer in MS Word, the menu of the printer displays "Unable connect", even though I'm perfectly connected to my printer. I've had this printer for about two months, and it has been the case for at least a month. I ran "HP print and scan doctor, and he tells me that there is a driver conflict, but whenever I reinstalled the driver and all software, he repeats the same error message. I also run the program of "troubleshooting HP Installation failure - network", but to no avail. My PC is connected to my router via an ethernet cable, and my printer is connected to my router via a wireless connection, note that I've never had this problem until recently. All reports that I printed state that there is no problem with the connection or the printer, the signal is excellent. I rebooted my router, I reinstalled, I restored default on my printer.

    Hello Adam_C,

    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with your Officejet 4630. I noticed that you have made some necessary troubleshooting steps, and you tried to plug a USB cord to test the connection.

    What is your operating system on your computer? Click here to read: Windows.

    Please follow these steps:

    First of all, to follow this entire document from HP on "Can't find printer" Error Message appears on the computer for a wireless network Installation. This does not include the software to uninstall/reinstall.

    If you get the same error after following all the steps in this document, please let me know.

    Also, I would like to add a port on your computer to a wireless network:

    (1) go to devices and printers on your computer
    (2) right click on your printer
    (3) select printer properties
    (4) select the ports tab at the top
    5) click on add port, select Standard TCP/IP port, and then select new port
    (6) type your IP address of your printer, click Next, and then finish
    (7) click on apply, then OK
    (8) try to print a document

    Impatience on your part.

    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?
