HP OFFICEJET 5740: HP OFFICEJET 5740 WON'T PRINT IN COLOR FROM MY MacBook Pro

I just bought an installed my HP 5740 earlier this week.  I can't print in color of my MacBook.

It will be printed in the color of my iPhone 6 however.

When I print the page 'Print diagnostic quality' print A4 pages with color 4 color blocks that is to say, the black box has 3 columns of black, grey and light grey.  The Cyan box has 3 columns of the dark blue, light blue and medium blue.   The Magenta block has 3 columns of the BlackBerry to the lighter shade of a rose.   The yellow block has 3 columns of the shade darker of yellow in the middle and lighter shade of yellow.

My older HP printer which was connected by cable always worked fine in color.

Can help you.

Thank you

Allan

Finally, after several other attempts to download software and and full of reboots to laptop and printer, I was able to print in color.

  • OfficeJet 6000 won't print from computer on our network

    Our officejet 6000 won't print from a computer on the network. All 3 computers running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. The computer we have problems printing used to be able to print to the Officejet 6000, but now he can't.  In devices and printers, it says that the printer is connected, but I can't print a Test Page.  However, if I run the HP Solution Center, it says that the printer is connected and I can go to the Toolbox of the printer and print a printer status report.  The 2 other computers on our network have no problem printing of pages to document and test.  Why would a printer are struggling to print documents and test pages, but be able to print the printer status report?

    It's just a problem of connection and communication. The computer and the printer can be on different ports or IP addresses. Here's a link below that can help solve this problem.

  • HP officejet pro 6830: cannot print in color from my mac (iphoto) to my HP officejet 6830

    my mac does not seem with the option when I select print

    Hello @themaruffs,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are not able to print in color from your computer Mac OS X 10.6 to your HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-all-in-one printer. Unfortunately, due to the age of your computer Mac your new HP Officejet printer is supported only on the Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8 of Mac OS X, Mac OS X 10.9 and the latest systems of Mac OS X 10.10 operating. Actually there is no HP full feature software downloadable and the driver for this model of printer for the Mac OS X 10.6 Operating System. Therefore, you must use a generic driver to Apple for a printing capability. This generic driver must be the reason why you did not print color options.

    To prove that your hardware is working properly please can I print you a standalone print quality Diagnostic Report:

    1 load plain white paper on the tray.

    2. on the printer Panel, drag the screen to scroll to installationand then tap the Setup icon (). Displays the Setup menu

    3. slide the screen to scroll to reports, and then touch reports.

    4. press on the report on print quality. The printer prints the report.

    If this report print with colors: Problem of compatibility on your computer Mac OS X 10.6 is the pilot of your printing problem. Unfortunately, the only option would be to install and use your printer on a supported operating system

    If this report is printed in black and white only: You encounter a hardware problem. Please click here to solve print quality problems.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your print quality diagnostic report. I look forward to hear from you!

  • 7612 All In One OfficeJet: HP Officejet 7612 won't print without margins on A3 + photo paper.

    Just bought an Officejet 7612 specifically for printing photos without edge of 13 X 19. I use Windows 8.1 and tried 5 different paint and photo printing programs. All programs list the same options of paper size for the 7612 (choice 2 choices, and 7610 series watch regular and fax printer). The only options for 13 X 19 or A3 + with HP advanced paper selected photo is low-margin. I went to options/settings and selected the printer printing without margins, but all attempts to cause a small margin. I don't use HP Photo Creations because he won't open a TIFF, which has better quality than JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, offers the only options Photo Creations. There are choices for edge to edge printing, but for the smaller paper sizes. I lose paper photo cheap and need help to resolve this.  Thank you

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    Stop wasting your expensive paper right now.

    I can't read this correctly - you may not be able to do with the 13 X 19 inch Photo paper.

    Take a look at the Plug - plain paper for this size, YES - printer Photo Paper: not-so-good.

    If you can't, don't shoot messenger.

    I hope I'm lazy-brain.

  • HP officejet pro 8600 - cannot print from my macbook pro

    We just bought a new HP officejet pro 8600 but for some reason, we cannot get my macbook pro to print on it. My mac says it is connected to it. It is listed in the printer only and all the settings look fine, but when I send a document to the printer, it will not be printed. He did print the first day we had (a week ago) but it stopped and we cannot figure out what to do. My daughter's PC will be printed, as well as the pc of my husband. It is the first time that I had problems printing to a hp from my mac. Any thoughts?

    I had my Officejet Pro 8600 about six months.  Recently, I had the same problem.  It continues to print from my Windows computers but not the Mac.   Labour goes into the impression that it is place on a wedge.  I tried many fixes, including the removal of the printer and reinstall.  Usually removing and reinstalling it will fix for a while, but now, even that does not work.  In my view, that the permanent solution is to buy another printer.

  • HP Officejet 6700 Premium suddenly does not connect to my Macbook Pro more

    Hey everybody,

    I got my HP Officejet for over a year and it has always worked perfectly. It has a stable wifi connection. Yesterday, all of a sudden the printer did not respond, so I asked my brother, who is the type of an It'er and removed the printer from the "Print & Scan" system preferences. Now, however, it will not be added more. As I said, it doesn't have a stable wifi connection, and I can see the presence of the printer when I click on the plus to add a printer, but then, if I want to add it, it says "cannot communicate with the printer at this time." I rebooted the computer laptop and printer and even left stop for the night, but it does not work. Nobody knows anything else to try?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hi Elizaanne,

    I understand that you are having problems with HP Officejet 6700 Premium does not connect to your Macbook Pro.

    The router must sometimes be recycled.  I unplug the router, turn off the printer, shut down the computer.

    Turn on router wait 5 min and turn on the printer and the computer.

    Check the printer if the Wifi is STRONG.

    Open Preferences system, Print and or print and scan pane. If you see the printer listed
    Click Printer button remove. It will ask for confirmation to delete printer.
    Click on add it or + button, select the MFP Hello not Fax. Adding that should update the drivers.

    If the Wifi of the printer is not fixed, you will need to reconfigure.

    1. Press the power button to turn on the printer.

  • HP envy 5532: HP ENVY 5532 won't print in color, no option to change

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP Envy 5532 printer and it prints in color test pages, but it won't let me print anything else in color, there is no project option only black and white or black and white

    Hi @katie67,

    from your description, it looks like a hiccup with the driver. We will reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, add the printer using the driver and try to start a new search.

    Reset the printing system

    1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.
  • HP Officejet 4620: HP Officejet 4620 - won't print black

    Just replaced the cartridges in our Officejet 4620. All the colors are working well except black. I can't even print a document, if the text is black. Any suggestions? New genuine cartridges have been used.

    I ended up finding support chat live just after the announcement. New printer on its way.

  • OfficeJet 6100 won't print in b & W without cartridges installed color (SCAM)

    NEVER buy an HP product.

    I got an important document to print up last night, and this printer is not working even with all the settings in black and white only if one of the color toner is empty or missing.

    You are extorting money from customers who bought your product in good faith.

    I replace it with a Canon printer today.

    You have lost a customer with your business practices skeezy HP.

    SHAME!

    This is a feature that was originally included in this printer as snowjg points out. However, this feature was surreptitiously removed due to future issues which this capacity also creates. Since it is possible to print without color from your computer via the device settings, this allows the printer to keep ink necessary for calibration and maintenance while reducing the production of ink color overall.

    I think I described well enough the possible problems that can be caused by leaving a cartridge impoverished in the above machine, but if you have any other questions, I'll be more than happy to answer best I can.

    Have a great day!

  • HP Officejet 4620 won't print black

    I tried to print a document, and all that came out was very light gray lines.  I tried on several other types of documents and only got lines light grey or anything.  I tried with a test page and a page of quality control and test page had very light gray text on this subject and the test page was all colors work properly except not black at all.  I saw paper troubleshooting HP and have tried everything without success, I even deleted the printer from my computer and reset to factory settings.  This printer was given to me, so I have no idea what either the warranty.  What can I do?

    Funny, I have created a document in MS paint which had different lines, including a black, with black text color and printed on photo paper and it printed fine.

  • HP Officejet 6600 won't print because the yellow and pink ink cartridges are exhausted?

    I need to replace? I want to print in black and white not color so, how do I fix?

    Hello

    Many IIC printers will not print (work) when a (whole) depleted cartridge. Some still unable to print, but a tiny snail. In short, you must purchase the new color ink.

    Kind regards.

  • HP officejet 8600 - problem print to tray 2 using macbook pro

    I fixed tray 2 by default - but the printer wants to use tray 1

    I solved the problem!

    Press the power button to turn off the printer - disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet - remove and reinstall the tray 2 paper tray

    Remove and reinstall the tray 2 - gently lift the HP printer out of tray 2 - gently lower the printer on tray 2

    My computer is a Mac (OS X 10.7) - on the MacBook Pro - go to system preferences and then print & Scan click on the printer and then click Options & supplies, and then click the driver tab - select the option tray 2

    It's as simple as that!
