HP Officejet Pro 6830: HP Officejet Pro 6830 fails to print color

My HP Officejet Pro 6830 stopped printing in color.  All cartridges are new HP cartridges.  I took all those out and reinstalled them but even that prints black.  I have done a clean print head and alignment but still only prints black.  I went online and downloaded all of the software for this printer and still only black print.  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

I have another 3 months on my warranty.

I called HP Printer Support nd everything I had to do was go through all 3 levels of print head cleaning.  Now my HP Officejet Pro 6830 print in all colors.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100: Officejet Pro 8100 won't print color after update software on Mac

    I have a MacBook Air with OS X (Yosemite 10.10.3)-.

    When I connect the printer via USB, I was able to print by using the generic drivers on the machine. However, as expected, update software detected an update for HP drivers - I installed.

    And now the printer does not print in color. I checked every setting I can think, but it is still printing in black and white.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Welcome to the @mandikayencforum!

    I have read your current position and the previous thread on how you were not and are not able to print in color from your Mac running 10.10. I saw that already test pages were color printing and would like to know if the test always pages print in color. If they do, a matter for the Mac somewhere, and I have some suggestions for you to do below. If the test pages no longer print in color, please let me know! If the printer is not printing in color when you print test pages, there is probably a problem of cartridge or printer hardware problem.

    1. follow the same steps of @Waterboy71 on your other thread here to reset the permissions system disk and repair of printing: Re: Officejet Pro 8100 refuses to print color (OS X 10.9)

    2. If you still do not have the ability to select the color printing on your Mac, try the procedure described in this post from wisgirl64: Re: won't print in color from my Mac or iPhoto for HP photosmart D110

    If you find that the color print test pages, and the Mac does not give you the options to choose color printing, I suggest getting in touch with Apple support experts to see if they can help fix the problem of the OS X.

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!

  • Now my HP Officejet Pro more will not print Photos or anything else!

    Here I am once more.  I finally solved the problem that I had been downloading the software for my HP printer after that I downloaded Windows 10.  I could not download any software without getting an error message 'download cancelled '.  I was able to print pictures and letters typed with WordPerfect X 6.  I'm embarrassed to say that I accidentally fell into the solution and now I can scan, send faxes again.  Yay!  Problem is NOW, I'm more able to print photos, or anything else!  I go through all the motions and send the message to the printer to print, but nothing happens.  I have already run the hppiw.exe and configure the printer.  When I try to run the HPPSdr.exe, he unzips the file, the printer appears as "installed" and click on the 'Next', I get a screen with 3 different ways to connect the printer to my computer - I choose USB because it'S the way I was connected.  Then I get a message telling me to do that my printer is on (it is)!  and try a different USB port (I have) or try another USB cable (I HAVE!)  OK, so FINALLY I get to the point where I am able to print on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g series Print Page of Diagnostic quality, AND DOES IT!    But I also know there is a problem with the software and I need to uninstall and click the Support link and the Driver to download new software.  But when I click on the link, I'm told I'm not connected to the internet - here we are again.  I'm exhausted.  I am 65 years old and I've been at this for 96 hours.  I've corrected the problems of scanning, but now I can't print while yesterday I was able to do it!   Arrrrggggghhhhhh.

    Can someone tell me why I get the message 'not connected' when in fact I AM connected to the internet?  sigh/smh

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620:8620 all in one printer color printing incorrect, even if the quality is good on tests

    My printer is only about a year and I had no problem with him until more recently. I only use hp ink cartridges. It prints color orange when I want to print the colors pink and Red/pink when I want to print Brown. Most of the other colors print normally. I cleaned the print head, which does not help at all and made a print quality test, each test to come out totally fine. Colors are not dimmed, there are no missing lines or anything like that, it's just printing wrong colors from time to time, as on some documents. Any suggestions?

    Hi @mcorinn,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you experience problems printing some documents with your HP Officejet Pro 8620 printer in Mac OS X 10.6. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I understand the frustration you feel. There could be corruption in the files/application on the Mac or a problem with the printer driver. If the 'print quality test' report print correctly, this is not a hardware problem.

    Are you able to print from TextEdit? What were the results?

    If some documents are the problem, they could be corrupted.

    What application you are printing from?

    Try to create a new document with the color to see if it prints correctly. What were the results?

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a: printers print only after the new cartridges installed

    Whenever I put in new cartridges I have problems with the print head alignment, then it usually printed.  This time, he was sitting with cartridges empty color for awhile and now it does not print at all.  I always use only the new HP cartridges.  It fails the alignment and the blue and yellow and sometimes the magenta show on the sheet alignment.  What is the print heads?  Why would I need to change them whenever I have to add ink cartridges new which makes no sense.  I have never changed them, but they worked very well until I added the new ink.

    Hey @janh1058,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I hope you enjoy your experience here.

    I understand that e-all-in-one-HP Officejet Pro 8500 a your printer is printing is no longer.  I would like to work with you on this. I have a few suggestions that might restore your printing capabilities.

    It could be that the long period of inactivity of dormancy has dried the print head, even if you have made the right choice in leaving the cartridges installed in the printer.  I recommend you try the following basic troubleshooting steps before embarking on a manual print head cleaning more intensive:

    • Click here and clean the printhead automatically via the front panel of the printer, as shown in the second Solution.
    • Repeat three times if you still have print quality issues.
    • Remove and reinsert the cartridges once more with the printer to force the printer to print a different allignment page.
    • This to improve the print quality?

    If you use always the same question, I have a few more advanced troubleshooting tips:
