• HP Deskjet 2540 All In One: Unable to print color?

  I have a Deskjet 2540 brand new all-in-One. Printer is delivered without any instruction manual. How to print color? I hit 'print' of my document and it comes out in black and white. When I type on the printer, the 'color' button, it draws just a piece of paper through the unit and nothing is displayed at all. I do not understand this crazy thing. My old printer didn't need me to tell it to print color or black and white, that he knew what was coming through the system. I'm about to make this thing.

  Thanks, actually it would print test print color, just not when I tried to get a print document in color. new printer, new cartridges. Change my selection of the printer of HP Deskjet 2540 2540 Deskjet series just seemed to settle, I don't know why. I just mention it here in case other Mac users have the same problem.

• 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!

• Want 7640 does not print color, but is printed in color on the Page of Test of Google Cloud Print

  I can't print the colors in a print job from the Web via Google Cloud Print / ePrint.   It prints in black and white.

  However, if I print a test page for Google Cloud Print, it prints in color.  I can also print a color copy.  My ink cartridges are filled.  When printing using chromium, the color preference is set to 'color '.  Everything works as expected.  The printer is capable of printing black & white jobs from across the internet.  The device is on.  Paper is in the tray.  The plateau is in the printer.  There is no jam.  I am trying to print source documents have color in them.  I am completely seen, and would be able to see the color in printed documents, if it existed.  Forgive my recitation of what is obvious, but I just spent several hours on a hotline explaining and reexplaining that my test print from the Web, color print.

  My environment is printer Envy 7640 and HP 11 Chromebook

  HERE IS WHERE THE CAUSE MAY BE:

  When I visit the page of Google Cloud Print to http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/ , I am able to click on "Try It Now" to find my printer, select 'Grey_CMY' color 'Color', click 'Print' to generate a single color test page.  However, I can't find any way to save the preference of color by default, and when I go back to the Google Cloud Print Try It Now page, color is set back to "Grey_CMY".  So even if I'm selected in the print dialog box color Chrome , it may get deleted by default in Google Clout black and white printing.

  Any help is appreciated!

  OK, here's the resolotion: when printing the dialog box, there is the link at the bottom of the dialog box "Print using the Google Cloud Print dialog box.  From there, the PAG printers are displayed by default of Grey_CMY can be substituted for the color and the job will be printed in color.

  So, I can't change the default, but I can ignore it, which is fine with me - I just need to know can I print in color.

• I have HP E809a Officejet of 7000 series, my printer does not print color but black

  I installed the new ink, but the printer does not print color but black. When I do trobleshooting he information I get is all works well.

  Assuming that you have installed the printer using the HP cd or the installation software full on HP site review the HP print settings/diagnosis and test the printing options, or help from HP, all available from the HP shortcuts installed with their software.

• My 6100 printer has never been able to print colors

  1 day he told me that the Blue cartridge (cyan) is empty, even when I replaced the cartridge with a new one, and he always says that the other colors are 'weak '. I've been printing the words black and white on a page, in fast draft mode, but the only time wherever I tried to print colors, she doesn't--a yellow cuff came out white, no colour at all.  He said always cyan is empty.  Now it will not print black and white at all. Am I supposed to spend $50 + new cartridges whenever I need to print something?

  Also, is there a Ribbon of cellophane that I need to take it off inside the printer?  I see a coating cellophance on transport of the cartridge in the printer, but there is nothing in the manual that says to remove it.

  Unable to print color seems a flaw for me.  Can I make a return?  I bought it two weeks ago.

  Catherine

  Hi CMBoston,

  I understand that you were not able to print anything in color, and you see a piece of Ribbon of cellophane inside. I want to help you with this.

  Please use the following document to solve the quality problem, you meet; Troubleshooting print quality problems.

  The strip inside the printer should be removed if the installation guide you requested otherwise, it is part of the internal mechanics.

  I'm not sure of the return policy where you bought the printer so I can not answer or not you can return the printer, but I can say that HP printers have a 1 year manufacturing warranty. If you're still having problems after following the steps outlined in the document, call HP. The number of call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for the Canada and the United States, or you can Contact HP worldwide.

  I hope that this information solves your request.

• HP C5180: Printer color problems

  I have a HP C5180 printer and printing color is messed up. My black watch diagnosis page than black, yellow-green with yellow strips, Lt Cyan shows as a dark cyan, cyan is white, Lt Magenta is dark blue, Magenta is Lt. blue. Anyone know how to fix this... I changed the printer cartirdges... the same problem. I cleaned the print heads. several times and followed the suggestions on the tech support pages. I would not only use this printer as a black and white printer.

  Hey @TomTwist,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I would like to help you today to solve print quality problems you are having with your HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-One Printer. Because you have already replaced the ink cartridges and clean the printhead several times nothing is done, there is a good chance to have a defective print head. The print head is what reads the cartridge and puts ink on the page. On your print head template system is a non-replaceable part. Therefore, should that do not pass part a replacement of the entire unit would be necessary. However, I would like to go through the following steps to conveniently solve this problem of quality.

  I won't make you run any printhead more clean. The rule is usually 2 or 3 clean makes no difference at all, don't make a fourth because when you clean the printhead system it uses ink in order to rinse the ink system. If 2 or 3 clean make no difference that you're just wasting if you run a clean more.

  Step 1: Calibrate the colors:

  1. open the printer Toolbox: HP Solution Center. This should be on the desktop of your computer.

  2. If you have more than one printer installed, be sure to select the correct printer tab in the HP Solution Center

  3. click on settings

  4. click on print settings.

  5. click on printer Toolbox.

  6. on the device Services tab, click color to calibrate, and then follow the instructions on the screen. The procedure takes about two minutes and requires two sheets of paper.

  Source: The printed colors are not colors should

  If the problem persists, please continue to the next step.

  Step 2: Align the print head:

  1. click on HP Solution Center's on your desktop

  2. click on settings.

  3. click on print settings

  4. click on printer Toolbox.

  5. on the tab Services of device the printer, Toolbox, click align the print cartridges, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

  Source: Streaks or lines in the printed Image

  Please test print once these two steps have been taken. If the issue of quality still persists, because you have already replaced your cartridges the next step would be a replacement of the entire unit.

  If you want to explore additional options available for your printer, I suggest you contact the Technical Support queue by phone.

• Print color

  I just bought a printer of HP Deskjet 1510 color all-in-one, Scanner, copier yesterday for my father & together he does all this, all the usual things required by the printer... test page, alignment etc. However when I tried a few color prints, colors came out much darker that is RED was Burgundy and yellow is light green. Has anyone have experience? And if so that you can share what you did to fix this please. Thank you

  The document here can help.  I suggest printing a diagnostic page.  If this page does not have the correct colors, as stated below in section 1, and then the color cartridge is defective and needs to be replaced under warranty.  You could return the cartridge to your retailer or contact HP for warranty replacement.

  

• 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!

• 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

  Welcome to the HP community @Walt_1,

  I wanted to tender hand to try to help with the problem you are having with your Mac running 10.11 does not print black when you use your Officejet 8620. As the test print black pages, we know that the printer itself works fine, and the problem is software partner. Here are some steps I suggest for you to try.

  • Reset the printing system
  • Restart the Mac.
  • Click on this link, download and run the HP Easy Start to install the printer.
  • In addition, to download this driver: HP v3.1 for OS X printer drivers.
  • Try to print from a few different programs from your Mac to test printing.

  Let me know the results if you please!

• 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.
