HP officejet pro 6830: will not print in color

I just bought an officejet pro 6830 e al. in a printer and I can't seem to print in color. I can copy in color by manually typing the colors and all my test prints out ok too. I even tried to clean the print head.  My operating system is a Mac OS X 10.11 El capitan. Can anyone help with this problem.

@mzacc, welcome in the community of HP,

I saw your post about how you are unable to print in color, to your Officejet 6830 and I wanted to share my own suggestions with you. See the link and the steps below and judge. You should be able to print in color later.

  • Here are some other suggestions, I have to try the Mac:
  1. Reset the printing system
  2. Restart the Mac.
  3. Download and install the complete driver: e-all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 6830 Printer series full feature software and drivers
  4. In addition, to download this driver: HP v3.1 for OS X printer drivers

  • 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

  • HP officejet pro k550 will not print a test page using the printer buttons.

    How to print a test page to make sure that this printer is still operational?

    I tried all the instructions release possible jams printer, deleted and reinserted the printheads and clean the rollers.  When you press the keys on the front of the printer, it will not print a test page.  and no led error display.

    The printer has been connected to another computer and stopped working last summer.  The printer does not respond to commands from the computer, nor would he respond to the keys on the front of the printer itself.  I can get the printhead to move using the controls on the front of the printer, however.  The printer is not currently connected to any computer and the nearest computer has not installed the appropriate drivers.  Initially the printer is connected to a desktop computer Dell Windows XP (sp 3).

    Here's how to print a self-test of the control panel page.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8210: Officejet Pro 8210 will not print - need to finish the setup message

    I have installed, implemented the 8210 OfficeJet Pro, HP Universal print driver HE managed mode, installed ink cartridges and printer alignment sheet printed.

    I plugged it in via USB, and the system set up the printer correctly.  I went to print a test page and the printer displays the following message:

    'To print, you must complete the installation.  Press OK and follow the instructions or choose? ».  I press OK, but nothing is displayed, it just goes back to the main menu and the help screen is useless.

    I can print reports in the menu of the printer very well, it will not just print the system Windows 10.

    I've implemented 8 of them exactly the same way with no problems.  I think I can try free managed mode.

    Does anyone know how to reset the printer to factory specifications, so I can restart the entire process to help self-directed mode?

    I took a cat with HP to solve the problem yesterday.  We had to install the full version of the software rather than the base driver.

    It's strange because I had a different Pro OfficeJet 8210 on my work system a few days earlier by using the old driver.

    In any case, it worked, so the problem is solved.  Sorry for without closing the post earlier.

  • My new HP Officejet Pro 8600 will not analyze superior at 300 dpi of the location of the single document.

    My new HP Officejet Pro 8600 will not scan more than 300 DPI when scanning individual photos on the glass plate. I do not use the document feeder. I use this printer wireless on an iMac and a PC.

    Hello

    You can pass the value of hp scan: launch of the demand application, select the shortcut to scan (PDF or JPG to the left) and change the resolution you want and save.

    This will send down the printer settings. So the next time you scan, the printer uses these settings.

    Good impression.

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    My suspicion was correct, there is a hardware problem with system of distribution of ink or cartridge.
