No color Deskjet 5700

The child abandoned his 5700 (5740?) with me the other day - she is out of the unknown regions and will not need a printer for some time.

I really don't need either, but wth, there were only three in the Office anyway and...

No color...

Black (test page) is fine.

SOME of my printers (all HP) came with the utilities 'clean print heads"and other"sports. "  Nothing visible.  I don't have the auxiliary software that could go with this thing - Windows Vista found a driver that works otherwise.

No idea what the status of the cartridge is - she has not used for some time, I'd be willing to bet, but the printer thinks it's OK, and little ink 'fees' came out when head cleaning.  (It might be blocked, of course.)

Any thoughts?

TIA

Stu.

Hello SMMAssociates,

You can use the buttons on the printer to do this:

To print a test page with, among other things, information on the cartridge: press and hold the Power button, press Cancel 1 time and release the power button.

To clean the cartridges: hold down the Power button, press Cancel 2 times, take 1 hour and then release the power button.

If on the print head nozzles are clogged with a dry ink and cleaning cartridges doesn't work, you might be able to fix it like this: heat water (almost to the boiling point) and then soak part of the cartridge where the ink comes out (print head) in the water for some time, to let the fine cartridge to dry and then install again in the printer and see if it works now.

    Hi cardiffian,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you can not print in blue with your HP Deskjet 3520, and I'm happy to help you with this issue of print quality problem!

    To get help, I'll need to know:

    1. If the printer is connected, wireless, or USB.
    2. If you are using a Mac or Windows operating system. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    3. If the printer is capable of making copies of itself.
    4. If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly on a wall plug. Questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power. This is true for printers and ink jet.

    In the meantime, please take a look through this guide. The printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pagesand let me know what happens.

    I hope to hear from you and have a nice day!

  • Artifacts and print wrong colors Deskjet D4160

    My Deskjet D4160 print colors wrong in Normal mode. It prints correctly in optimized mode. For example, it will print rose instead of orange. I saw him print pink instead of blue. It prints very well when it is in optimized mode, but not in Normal or fast mode. I installed the brand new HP inkjet cartridges in the printer of the brand. Also I sometimes get artifacts on the page when you print in Normal mode. At first I thought it was because I used off the coast of brand cartridges, but the same problem occurred when I installed HP cartridges brand as well. If anyone can help me with this problem I would be very happy.

    I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue. One thing you can do is to clean the head of printing and cartridges on the Solution Center.

    You can also uninstall and reinstall the software and drivers.

    It seems that the communication between the printer and the computer is not on the same page when it comes to color printing.

    I would like to know if these steps help, or what is happening.

  • HP Deskjet 5740 do print the pages!

    What could be the cause?

    I think I found the solution: I changed the properties of the printer, the print processor (see photo) and the problems have been resolved, even if the drivers are different: the queue for local printing, the version of the driver 6.3.9600.16384

  • Aware of the printer!

    Printer HP Officejet Pro 8100 operating system Windows 7 in progress

    With the power supply "off" printer, my old printer HP Deskjet 5700 series d autimatically power 'on' on the basis of a print command.

    My new printer, Officejet Pro 8100 seems to require the printer already be in position 'on' before accepting a print command.

    Is this correct or does automatically power 'on' when a command is issued?

    Thanks for any assistance!

    Hello yugretep,

    Please, let me first take the time to say 'Welcome' on the HP Forums.  I hope you enjoy your experience!

    To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I see you have some doubts about the way in which the printer responds when a print job is sent to it.

    The printer Officejet 8600 has a "standby" or the stand depending on the mode that you wake up the printer to the top when a print job is sent to activate the printer.  The printer is designed to be on all the time and if left alone for a certain period of time, it may fall into a sleep or stand-by mode.

    If the printer will not respond on the stand where sleep mode, then it is usually caused by a lack of power.  I suggest that you make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and NOT a power strip/bar.  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.

    Once you have the printer in a wall outlet, use the power button to be able to cycle properly the device.  This will reset the printer.

    Please email me if you still have questions or if you have any other questions.

    If not today, I hear you hope you have a fantastic Thursday.

    See you soon,.

  • DeskJet 5500 prints color cartridge 57 but your gray of the 58 photo color cartridge

    My deskjet 5550 is supposed to print color photo with the 58 cartridge inserted into the cartridge slot 2. It has suddenly stopped making and now print only the dull grey tone. I replaced the cartridge with a new one and got the same result. Print the same file using the 57 cartridge to slot 1 still gives the color. Replacing the driver produces no change. I'm on a Mac and I'm printing from iPhoto. Having checked that no filter is in use. Any ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it?  Thank you.

    The cartrdiges 57 and 58 are necessary all to print the photo. The 57 a Cyan, Magenta and yellow. The 58A Photo Black, Light Magenta and Light Cyan. The printer can print photos with the 57 by itself, but the 58 by itself will not be able to print grayscale because there no yellow. In photo printing normal both cartridges are used together, the 57 provides vivid colors and the 58 provides subtle shades and black areas. When you print on plain paper 56 cartridge replaces the 58. The 56 was ink black pigment which is good for text but not used on photographic support. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP printing and imaging

  • DeskJet D2360: Deskjet 2360 - prints wrong colors, even if the test page seems well

    In 10 (64-bit) Windows, Deskjet D2360 prints the well test page, but the colors aren't any application (documents, photos...). Cyan looks like dark blue. Green also appears dark blue. I just updated the drivers from the HP website, but the behavior remains the same.

    The problem appeared after Windows 10 updates (January 2016 and later versions).

    Print and Scan Doctor couldn't fix it. Help!

    (Suggestion: If your printer prints the test page, why not propose an image file with what the test is supposed to look like.) This is useful especially to confirm colors. If I have a print test and see a few squares of color, how could I know if they are the correct colors?)

  • DeskJet F4140: Printer prints wrong colors after updating windows 10

    Hi all

    This is my first post here on the forums and it's a doozy.

    I've updated my laptop last night from 8.1 to win to win 10.  Power seems to work well except my Deskjet F4140 printer. It prints, but the colors are false.  bruises are red, red green, green are "purple", made for an interestng very a first impression. I did all the usual stuff, troubleshooting, test the page clean and align the heads. Uninstall and reinstall to make sure it was getting the windows 10 driver, but alas my problem remains. I tried to find a way to change the mode of compataibility and can't find my file .exe for the printer. I know it's and older printer, but it works like a top and I'd hate to have to replace it because of this problem.

    TLR

    update to win 10 and colors are off like hell.

    Thank you

    Robbie

    Finally fixed my printer not through HP. What I had to do is access the so-called Godmode on windows 10. It allows to access all the parameters of the user as well hidden and non-hidden in one place. I went down to my printer and changed its functioning as windows 8.1 and it works as it should. You should be able to learn more about the Google's God mode command line script. Thank you and good night.

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that you have a HP Deskjet D1520 printer that prints wrong colors when sending your computer Windows 8 print jobs. I would like to help with that.

    If it's a matter of print quality caused by the software and printer drivers. It would be better to completely uninstall the software and printer drivers. Here is a video that you can use to reference - uninstalling in Windows 8 HP printer drivers, if needed.

    Once uninstalled, you must reinstall the software and drivers. Here is a link to the page where you can start downloading - drivers and software HP Deskjet full functionality.

  • 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 =)
