New 8620 - will not print in color

Yesterday I bought a new HP Officejet Pro 8620. Installation was easy, and printing B & W is very good. But I can't get anything to print in color. Diagnostic said OK; the inks are brand new and full.

I notice that when I want to print, there are only a few options Print - "Standard' and"B & W". How can I increase the options of the printer - as a quick impression, economy, using low ink?

Thanks for the follow-up and verification the printhead works very well.

Reset the printing on Mac system. This erase on the printer drivers for the printer and others if added.

Find and install the updates on Mac.

  • The Apple Software Update icon

Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac.

Add the printer in print and Scan, can also be considered as print and Fax.

Let me know if this allows better printing.

  • DesignJet T770: DesignJet T770 will not print in color

    After you move a DesignJet T770 44 inch queue from a Windows 2003 server to a Server Windows 2012 R2 the T770 will not print in color.

    The general tab on the properties T770 printer States ' color: No. '.  Yet once on the printer properties on the tab color color management is set to "Automatic (recommended)".

    The T770 printer driver has been downloaded from Windows Update I was unable to get a T770 driver from the HP website.

    The T770 product no is CH539A / CN375A. Strangely, none of these product numbers have been recognized by the search for product number for th HP Web site.

    My question is how do the T770 to print color again?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I would say that you definitely have a driver problem if you has not changed the settings in the built-in web server printer at the time wherever you spent since Windows Server to the other server in Windows.

    I check all the settings on each tab in the driver to see if it is possible that somewhere in there color is disabled.

    I also go back to HP.com and look for driver for that machine again.

    I am also looking for a print utility for this machine, which should not be confused with a printer utility, even if they might be named roughly the same.

    I recall there are two utilities is to monitor the status of your printer, and the other is to print and work around the driver.

    When you have found the right print utility you save your print format JPEG or PDF file and then open it in the print utility and send it to the printer without ever open drivers.

    Another experiment, you can try it if you have a practical PDF just open a web browser and access the built-in web server printer and then try to print the PDF file directly by using the option for printing on the web server.

    The purpose of some of these things is number one determine if the printer has developed a problem that it prevents printing color and print JPEG or PDF from the built-in Web server where all you do is send the file directly to the printer would let you know that the printer is always able to color.

    So if you can get the print work utility where you can open the PDF on a PC and then send it to the printer you have to least a workaround while you solve the driver problem.

    But, how to fix this?

    My OS is Win 8.1Pro x 64 with all updates installed.

    The colour toners are 100%, black is at 28%.

    rk_russelking: your suggestions have been COMPLETELY & TOTALLY USELESS.

    I found the answer here:

    ... «in the printer properties, select the tab settings of the device, scroll to the very last item at the bottom, which is 'Device Type'.» The value displayed (which of course got auto-installé as a default value, for both PCL6 drivers), is "AUTO-DETECT". You would think that would work, but it apparently does not.

    In any case, by selecting the drop-down arrow, it turns out that there are three available values: AUTO-DETECT, COLOR and MONOCHROME.

    Of course she then had me select COLOR, click APPLY and then click OK. I repeated the process for the other printer PCL6. »

  • Color Laserjet CP1518 will not print in color

    XP SP3 usb connected.

    I found other troubleshooting solutions. Namely, that where the solution is to uncheck "print in grayscale".  I don't see this option on one of the property tabs.

    The 1518 has been in service for months, maybe more than a year.  Had some problems with it not behave like a printer and would remove and reinstall through control-> printers/Fax Panel.

    Tried again with this instance, nothing helps.   Color toner supplies are all over 80% - and print supply page in the menu of the printer _does_ color print.  Fact page of toners 'Colorsphere.

    Any jobs sent to the printer, with elements of color, prints in grayscale.  The printer is shared through the connected usb XP machine.  network printing also does not print in color

    A search of this forum did not turn anything for this situation.  If anyone can provide a link to the query (solved) of another user or perhaps an explanation for changing the appropriate printer property to start printing in color once again I certainly appreciate it.

    Thank you.

    A solution of sorts.  I'll post here so when it happens again in a year and my addled brain can't remember, maybe that I'll find myself here.

    At HP, I downloaded the printer driver.  These are apparently "universal."  Deleted the XP printer and it - he added point to the level of the 8-12 different folder with .inf files that I had just downloaded.  No idea which one to use.  And apparently not so universal that HP would have you believe.  I presume that one I chose (proabably the first alphabetically) only allows gray - or is gray universal for printers.

    Well, rather than waiting on the long tail of wisdom on this forum I tried a reset hot of the printer (pull the plug while its on and wait 15 seconds).

    did.  tried to print (in excel the view print used to always display in color and he wasn't yet). There not also to print in color.  However in the meantime that the print job, I noticed that my "equipment was ready for use.

    Checked the printer and found a new listed HP cp1518ni.  has chosen to print in excel and the preview showed in color and voila! print color too.

    I've never cared for lack of HP of discrimination re: printer drivers 'universal '.  At least, they should give more guidance on which .inf to use _if_, you're going to be looking forward and install it yourself.

    However, I am impressed XP and HP got the correct auto-install.

  • HP all-in-one 8620: HP all in a single 8620 - will not print black because yellow ink so you are done?

    What nonsense, the here!

    my printer refuses to print black and white, pages saying that the yellow ink is finished?

    only if I buy a wet ink yellow it will print.

    Isn't this black mail? What does take to print?

    I did print it in black, etc, but still it prints no and gives a banner saying yellow ink purchase

    The standard yellow ink is available from HP here.  You can also consider the Multipack colourful three - if yellow is probably exhausted the other colors are not far behind.

    With regard to the requirement to have the ink color when you want to only print in black.

    HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

    • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. Deskjet 6980 series is an example, or for an all-in-one, see the 8040 a Officejet.
    • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8620.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for the service by replacing the (expensive) print head.
    • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

    If you are ever printing a monochrome laser printer in color would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

  • Will not print in color from my Mac or iPhoto for HP photosmart D110

  • Photosmart 7520 will not print on color construction paper.

    My Photosmart 7520 print text on color construction paper.  It feeds through the status bar, but does not print.

    Hey @JanMO,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    If you have a 7520 Photosmart all-in-one that doesn't seem to not want to print on color construction paper? Because the product is to feed the paper in the paper tray but isn't actually put ink on the page is does not seem to be a problem with the book itself and not filling not the management of specifications that your printer takes in charge for a type of paper.

    According to the specifications of 7520 Photosmart it can handle:

    • Types of media supported: Paper (brochure, inkjet, ordinary), photo paper, envelopes, labels, cards (greeting), transparent
    • Supported media formats: Letter, legal, 4 x 6, 5 x 7 in., 8 x 10, no. 10 envelopes
    • Recommended weight: 16-80 lbs.

    Plug Photosmart e-all-in-one printer 7520

    You know the exact weight of the construction paper?

    Your printer will print on other media, such as plain white paper or photo paper glossy with no problems?

    You could try to browse the next document in troubleshooting print quality, but please note that if your paper is not listed in the support media types, sizes or requirements of weight that you can do more harm to your printer.

    Have you tried to make a color copy from your printer? Place a color document face down on the scanner bed and touch the copy option on the printer screen color.

  • My dell v313 printer will not print in color

    I have a dell printer it prints black but not color.  What could be the problem?  I bought the printer in 2009, it is Dell V313

    Hello Patricia,

    First question: you have Windows 7 32 or 64 Bit OS (to find go to control panel, click on system, scroll down to the section of the OS, if its 64-bit it'll tell, otherwise it will be silent on the Bit depth). It is important to know that I can only find a Windows 7 driver for the 32-bit version, not the 64-bit version!

    If you have not visited the site of Dell, you will find perhaps instructive: http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=us&l=en&cs=&k=printer+v313&cat=all&ref=ac .

    This article on printing in color was particularly interesting: http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/04/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&docid=52113 .
