  Original title: help, please!

  I have a HP Deskjet 3050 printer.  When I try to print colored ephemera that I bought and downloaded from Etsy, the color is off and the image lost its detail.  The downloaded images are in JPEG format.  When I consult the in file folder they are in, they look beautiful, but when I print, they are terrible and useless.  I installed new color and black cartridges and tried the digital paper.  Nothing helps.  Any suggestions?

• Does not print color

  First, it started with my HP 6700 (driver ver 2.1) and now I just tried with my HP Envy 7640 (driver ver 2.0) on a 2nd network.

  • It prints color as gray or half-tone scale (don't know what you call it - it's not color).
  • Both printers print test ok colors page from the printer configuration options.
  • Both printers copy ok color documents.
  • Ink colors are in full in two printers (from the printer check ink level option).
  • Only when I try to print color on my computer (tried with both my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air + MacBook Air my wife). I tried printing photos (which is where I first noticed the problem) and Web sites and documents. No color.

  I'm under El Capitan 10.11.1 but it started with Yosemite.
   
  I deleted the driver and reinstalled. No resolution of the issue.
   
  I even made a regeneration of permission (just in case). I have all the updates
   
  Thus, it prints but not in color.  Colors print as gray or semitone scale.
   
  A world without color is pretty dull.

  Suggestions welcome ;-)

  Found new driver just released yesterday (25/10/2015), which fixed the problem

• HP photosmart C4480: HP photosmart C4480 does not print colors

  I had other questions on this matter. Changed to the new color cartridge. The printer will print a new alignment page that has the color on it, but all the images or type I try to print in color out just black and white. I don't have an option of black and white levels in my print window. Also do not have a function of options as someone did in a similar question. Impossible to find anywhere in the preferences system, in the window print function buttons printer to specify the color and black and white.

  Never had this problem before using Windows or Mac computers. Printed of this same laptop several times over the years, no problem. This just started happening out of nowhere starts at the beginning of this summer. Same notebook printed in color in the office. No indication I need new drivers, tried to reinstall the printer just to be safe.

  Any ideas? !!

  Thank you!

  1. Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
  2. Go to the Utilities folder
  3. Open disk utility
  4. Select the hard disk volume, you use (usually on the left)

• HP DeskJet 3630 all-in-one: desjet 3630 does not print color

  Hi, I bought a new HP DeskJet 3630 series all-in-one printer today. Setting up the printer I did several tests that show color printing, however, whenever I try to print an image in color (working on my daughters school book) it prints in black and white. I did troubleshooting all I can think of, we have no black & white printing turned on. I'm not quite sure, what else to make sure the printer is brand new and should be able to print in color?
  Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

  Not quite sure what I did to make it work, di, but the cleaning cycle for the cartridges of ink & rebooted several times, and the printer is now printing normally =)

• 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 8100 do not print color

  Hello

  Have a new Officejet 8100, which printed color for 3 weeks - only 51 leaves it. All cartridges are 80% full.  After printing of not a few days the color on the printed page was various shades of gray.

  A print test page shows all cartridges different gray printing, except one that prints blues aqua dull.

  Installed the printer on a win xp operating sysem to eliminate software problems on my win 7 64-bit system, but still exactly the same problem, so must be something in the printer, I guess.

  The ideas of the most popular resolution, or look back at the store would be the next step.

  See you soon

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see your Officejet 8100 color will print does not correctly, you can try to clean the print heads. For the steps to clean and other steps, take a look in this HP document: Troubleshooting print quality problems.

• If I try to print pictures from the picture library, they all come out in grayscale.

  HP PSC2355 All In One

  This printer has recently been attached to my new computer, HP 2MD2190CLF.

  Running Windows 7, 64-bit

  Settings are the same on the printer, as they were for old PC (XP) and laptop (Vista), that he was hooked up to.

  I am trying to print photos from the library of images and they come out in grayscale. I print documents and that they

  out in color, photos printed color print of the webcam webcams. Put the webcam image in the picture library

  and try to print grayscale. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  The application that prints photos in the photo library maintains its own set of settings of the printer, separate from what can be defined elsewhere.  Select a photo, click on print and then click on 'options' in the bottom right.  From there you should be able to select the appropriate paper type and color printing.

  

• Photosmart 6520: printer print color wrong

  My printer frequently active in the middle of the night. I guess that those who are updated to HP. The problem is that there wasn't something wrong with the printer and after several nights of updates, is no longer print color correctly. Nothing wrong in the diagnosis I can say. New HP ink. But the images are completely incorrect. Orange is yellow, black is pale green. What's wrong?

  Hello susan649,

  Welcome to the HP Forums.

  I see that you have some problems with color printing.

  I have some suggestions that we can try.

  First of all, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

  I have also found a document that addresses when the printer prints blank Page or fact not printing black or color ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage and 6520 Photosmart e-all-in-one printer series.

  If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

  Thanks for your time.

• 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?

• HP 8600 not print color

  I have a Hp 8600 and I recently changed the black cartridge, the others are setting up those and the printer does not print color more, since I have replaced the black print cartridge (not when I copy or a word in the document). I'm printing off grayscale isn't in printing preferences.

  Hello

  Thanks for providing the details.

  Please try the steps below...

  • on the printer screen, press Setup (wrench), then
  • Touch on TOOLS, then
  • touch the head of PRINTING its OWN.
  • Printer would print a test page, check if all the colors (Cyan Magenta yellow and black are printing).

  Now try to make a color copy and check if the colors are printed.

  If no colors? then its time to replace the cartrdiges Cyan Magenta and yellow.

  Ink level shown are those estimated, the actual level may be lower than what you see on the screen of the printer.

• Printer color options

  I have a HP Deskjet All In one Printer 3512.  After the recent update required Microsoft, my printer print in color from the internet. but it will only print in grayscale in the color of my pc documents. Tab color option is when I print from the internet, but it is missing when I try to print a document in color of my computer.  I've tried everything to fix it, but nothing works.

  Zactinium - thank you very much for your reply to my message. I have the impression and the installed Scan doctor. The analysis found that I had a problem, but nothing he could fix. After a few hours of frustration, I finally decided to uninstall my printer and reinstall it.  Fortunately, I got the CD to perform this function and the new facility has solved the problem. My printer now works again. This occurred after installing Microsoft updates which was also critical. I've had this printer for almost a year and never had any problems until this incident.  I hope that I don't have this problem again, but I know what to do now if this happens.

• HP Deskjet 5100 taped in grayscale - Management Options not available in the settings of the printer color

  Hello!

  My printer is a HP Deskjet 5100 on Mac 10.8.5. He's stuck on shades of gray, when printing. Any program I try to print in I do not get the color management option, even when checking in the advanced options.

  On photoshop, he's also stuck in grayscale.

  I printed a test page with success in color. But for some reason, no program will be printed in all except grayscale.

  I tried to update the drivers, but the audit of Web/driver HP site, everything is up-to-date.

  Other information:

  In the printer options, I can't even check my rate of cartridge. I have the following message: Information not available

  In ColorSync Utility, under devices, it says the printer Mode is: "grey". When I try to assign a different color profile, do not.

  I did a hard reset of the printer.

  I removed completely and resynced the printer with the computer again in prefs/Print & analysis system

  Any information would be amazing. I checked all the forums that I could find online,

  Hello

  Your printer is not compatible with Mountain Lion, that's why using Mac one driver generic PCL which is black & white drivers only:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01856359

  Try a 3rd party like HPIJS driver, it seems your printer support and more likely to provide you with a better results than a generic driver.

  Don't forget to install one of the 3 required uploads before adding to the queue printing:
