  I understand that you have a question in color printing.  You print a diagnostics page and inks exhibition about half full and health of the print head is OK.  When you were trying to print each color individually only yellow printed.

  Here is a link that I think will help with this difficulty:

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless print pink instead of blue

  Until recently, I never had a problem with this printer; However (now when I didn't print blue) it comes out pink... I cleaned the head many times and has also replaced the Cyan Ink Cartridge with a new and fresh cartridge, and nothing seems to solve the problem... All suggestions are solicited.

  Hi Chuck,

  I understand that you have a problem with your printer Officejet 8500 Wireless color print does not correctly. I'm sorry to hear what is happening, but I will do my best to help you!

  I understand that you advised you already tried cleaning, but I will suggest that take you a look at this document to print quality because it has a few others not for you to try as well. If the problem persists after this document, although I suggest you clean the printhead contacts manually because it might be an accumulation causing the colors do not print correctly.

  Finally, I also recommend connect the printer directly to a wall outlet to make sure that the printer is getting enough power to function properly.

  Hope this helps, have a nice day!

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: color ink is not printing

  We just received our 6830 Officejet Pro a few months ago and feel sometimes but not often. Yesterday when I tried to print, printed only black things on the page. None of the colorful text printed at all - not even in a different color or a shade - so it appears none of the color ink cartridges has been used. The printer indicates that all four cartridges are about 50% full.

  Things that I've checked or tried:

  The computer has the choice of the color selected.

  Color copy gives the same result - no color.

  I checked the vents and they don't seem to be blocked. I stuffed them with a needle just to be safe.

  I hit the bottom of the cartridges where the ink comes out and ink on my fingers. They are not dry.

  I'd clean the print heads.

  I tried putting the printer off, and then restarting the computer.

  The "test page" and the "print quality diagnostics page" do not print with any color either.

  The printer indicates that it not there no new updates.

  Color printing perfectly fine a few weeks ago, no sign cartridges drying up. It is under warranty, but it's our third of these printers and really, I prefer not to be yet another replacement if it is possible to solve this problem! (The first two were a high pitched noise all the time while it is plugged). Thanks in advance for advice.

  After the execution of the cycle 'cleaning print head' repeatedly, the color ink is now working!

• 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!

  The last option would be to contact Customer Service to see if there is something else that the printhead causing the problem. I've included a link to the contact information for your printer.

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 - horizontal lines that cross color print

  I just replaced the two print heads.  Ran alignment and the screen says it was successful.  Black print was nice, but color printing had horizontal lines through it.  I use it through windows 7.  The color is not true, when I run since Ubuntu 10.04.

  For print quality troubleshooting questions, check them out steps in the document located here.

  So, since you just change the print heads, check the steps located heredocument.

  I hope this helps.

• OfficeJet 6000: OfficeJet 6000 does not print

  Replace the ink cartridges for Officejet 6000 would not print.  It prints the words Page Windows printer to test a test page of color with a printer icon in the upper right, then at the center of page 4 with a white fill boxes; yellow fill, blue fill and a red fill.  That's all.  I touched a "print test page" and the paper comes out blank, although that normally shake it like the print head moves back.

  Hello @Pistol_shooter, greetings!

  Thank you access the Forums from HP Support for extra support! I see that you are having problems printing using the Officejet 6000. I will do my best to help you with this problem.

Since your computer desktop, double-click the printer icon, the printer wizard / solution Center will open. Go to settings and navigate to the cleaning of the printheads.

  I found a wonderful document that gives you instructions step by step to solve this problem. Please visit: http://hp.care/2dtFaXe

• I have a HP Officejet used that only prints black

  Hello! I recently bought a HP Officejet 4500 used. I use it as a printer with my MacBook Pro version 10.9.3 and it will only print black. I have combed all through information from print and can't find where to change the settings to print in color or black. Also, how can I connect it via Ethernet? Thank you!

  The Officejet being able to print colors without problems when compared with the computer, we have a path take it now. Try to reset the system of printing on Mac, this will delete the printer drivers, when return adding that it will be the default settings. Mac OS x: how to reset the printing system will guide you if you have not done this before.

  Now that the printer drivers are deleted, repair disk permissions on the computer. Download and install this: v.2.16.1 for OS X HP printer drivers and add your printer. There should be no reason why the printer would not print color of the computer.

• OfficeJet J6450 does not print shades of gray or black

  I have an Officejet J6450 all-in-one, and I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8 on PowerPC Mac. I have some problems, and I didn't know the answers elsewhere.

  1. the printer seems to "mix" the colors of the color cartridge to create black instead of use of the balck cartridge ink black. A color XL cartridge lasts barely more than one, even if I do small specific color printing. Almost all my impression is based on text, however, I print interent pages here and there. In these cases, same black text prints "colored." How can I ensure that the printer selects the black cartridge to print in black?

  2. I need to print the slides for the school. I got the impression of the 'gifts' and select 'black and white '. Despite this, the printer tries to make black the color cartridge and I often find myself with green or red prints. Not fatal, but it totally wastes my color cartridge. I tried naming the color of the text in the slides as 'black' instead of 'automatic', but this did not help. Yet once, how can I make sure that the printer uses black?

  3. should I have an installed working color cartridge to print in black? I can't install 2 black cartridges?

  Any suggestions are welcome. I can't believe how much ink the printer consumes. What a waste - not only my money, but for the environment. Time shop for something more effective and practical. I feel bad, even a gift this eater of ink to charity.

  THANK YOU in advance!

  Thank you!! I know I have enough cheap paper, but I think the selection of paper made the rounds. At least in PowerPoint. I printed that one page, but it seems dark enough for me. I'll write again if several pages do not work.

  How can I get the B & w Web to print pages?

  In addition, no idea if I use TWO black cartridges?

• Windows 8 - officejet 6000 - just stopped printing black-

  Windows 8 - officejet 6000 - just stopped printing black-

  put a new black cartridge in and now it will not print black - going to test the page and color printing - can hardly see black text on the test page - gray value - has always been - no other changes have had recourse to the same printer for a little over a year.  Only clean the print heads still no black printing.

  Hi rea123,

  I understand that you have an Officejet 6000, which is currently not print black ink. I'm sorry to hear what is happening, but I will do my best to help you.

  I suggest that you first look through this document for Troubleshooting print quality problems because it may be a few steps that you have not yet tried.  This document 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer has also a few steps to know how to clean the print head manually.

  If all else fails, take a look at the Bob_Headrick station for soaking your printhead.

  Hope this helps, have a nice day!
