Photosmart 2610 yellow color will not print

My Photosmart 2610 is a pig.  She refuses to print Yellow.  I went through several routines clean and preferred and changed the cartridge for a new brand, but nothing raises any dribble of yellow.  Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

I would gently pat dry the printhead on a damp cloth.  A working cartridge will have a strong task of cyan, magenta and yellow.  I suspect that your cartridge will show only cyan and magenta.

In this case, there are a few things to check.  Are the original HP or reman cartridges / filled?  The latter usually have poor quality, see the study here.   The other possibility is that the cartridges are original HP but outdated.  There is not all "expiry" on these cartridges that might lead to print does not correctly after a certain date, but very old cartridges may have failures in one or more colors.  Check the end of warranty date (two years from the date of production) as indicated in the paper here.  This date is also usually printed on the lower right front back the package.  If the cartridges are very old and well beyond the end of warranty date, this is the likely cause.

As a temporary measure, it can help to soak the cartridge in about 1 "of very hot water for about ten minutes, with the nozzle to the bottom plate.  Remove the cartridge and gently dry the electric contacts with a lint free tissue and try to print.

  • All-in-one Photosmart HP 3310: colors may not print correctly on A4 photo paper.

    My HP 3310 printer gave me great prints for many years, but during the last 12 months, 210 x 297 mm prints threw a desaturated look and brightness has dulled as well. My photos 10 x 15 cm print perfectly.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless: Can I get some help here? Yellow ink will not print - HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

    No matter what I do, ink yellow does not print, or stops at halfway printing on the page. I use genuine HP cartridges. There is a lot of ink - in fact, I just installed a new cartridge in the case where a previous (almost complete) was defective. No change. The pipe is not pinched. I flashed the firmware more recent and installed all drivers and utilities updated. I have cleaned the print heads over and over again and even took and cleaned according to the instructions.

    I think it was a sign that the printer is worn EXCEPT - just a few months ago, magenta and black stopped printing. These are the opposite printheads. When I uninstalled every bit of HP software I could find, the printer back to normal!

    The only thing I did not - it is the HP Toolbox argues that it is impossible to establish two-way communication with the printer. The patches for this involve get under the desk to play with the power cord and USB cable (even if it is a wireless printer), and my arthritic knees that make a very delicate operation. Two-way communication IS enabled.

    I'm about to start crying. I fought with this market a week, when the yellow all of a sudden went - once again, * most * of the time, but sometimes it prints to maybe an inch of the image before disappearing. Help!

    Hi @Echo2,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printing problem.

    I understand that you use a HP Officejet Pro 8000 printer with a Windows 7 computer and all of a sudden is not printing yellow ink. I would like to help with that.

    Here is a document of support for the print quality problems - Troubleshooting print quality problems.

    To change the setting of the ECM from the control panel

    1. from the home screen, tap (right arrow), and then select Setup.

    2. press Fax Setup, and then click Advanced fax setup.

    3. Select the Mode of Error Correction.

  • HP Photosmart plus b209a-metres will not print wireless

    This printer has had me very confused for a long time now.  When I got to the printer, I have had no problem in his wireless installation and be able to print things wireless.  But after that I had to restore my laptop I had a few problems.  I reinstalled and everything seems to work properly.  When I go in the settings of the printer and look at the wireless connection, he tells me that it is connected to my router, also when I look in my networks on my laptop, I see the printer.  But then when I want to print something wireless it tells me in the HP Solution Center that the printer is offline.  This makes absolutely no sense to me at all...

    I don't know what to do, I tried searching on google for 30 minutes for a solution, but I couldn't understand anything.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

  • yellow will not print photosmart c4280

    My printer will not print or scan colors yellow / green. It's a fairly new cartridge, so I don't know that I him have not used everything up and on the levels of food its fine. I don't get the error messages. And clean the heads of printing and the allinged I level 1 and 2.

    I advise to remove the Photosmart C4280 cartridges and clean the electrical contacts.  During this operation, I would go ahead and perform a reset of the ink system.  For more information about how to perform an ink system reset click here.

    In addition, there is a document for the resolution of bad color printing problems.  The document can be accessed here.

    • Also, try to run all 3 levels of the print head cleaning utility.  He is trying to force the ink holes in the print head to try to get back to the normal print quality.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • HP Photosmart 2610 says that it will not print, because the transport is stuck, but it is not

    my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one, said that he will not print because the transport is blocked. Well, he is not stuck. Yet, I can't print. I printed close to 20 000 cards because I bought and installed printer. What should I do? can you recommend a printer to buy. Looks like it's ready for the 'OS' yard HELP.  PAUL LACNY * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Hello

    Perhaps he is worn and requires little (routine) maintenance (20,000 sheets is a lot of printing).

    As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their drivers. Check with
    HP support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums.

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

    There are three models, so enter-> Photosmart 2610 - in the link of the HP driver and select the version
    you have - then select your version of Windows.

  • C7180 WILL NOT PRINT YELLOW

    My C7180 printer will not print Yellow not, instead, it prints green.

    The yellow cartridge has been replaced several times, and they contain green ink does not yellow.

    I learned that the Lt Cyan or Cyan is a bleeding into the yellow cartridge.

    I emptied the yellow ink before you replace it with a new yellow cartridge.

    All other colors seem to be OK

    Is it possible to COMPLETELY CLEAN all inks, clean the head and install new cartridges?

    Hello 09irishman40,

    Thanks for being honest in describing what happened before the show.

    It's a hardware problem as the print head and the way by which the yellow ink will are damaged.

    I would recommend that you call the HP Technical Support.

    I don't know if the printer is under warranty, but then HP Technical Support could provide a better options for you in this situation.

  • PHOTOSMART 5520 WILL NOT PRINT BLACK

    I just replaced the cartridges for my PHOTOSMART 5520.

    After that, color printing has no black color.

    All HP cartridges are not new.

    It's very frustrating.

    for some unknown reason, this problem is gone when I tried printing 2 weeks later.

    To summarize:

    I'm in the United States.

    I replaced the 4 cartridges again purchased at HP online.

    After that, the black will not print if I choose to print in color.

    But if I print in "black and white only", black is in fact works very well.

    I tried everything suggested in the web forum such as cleaning, alignment, prower AC cycle,... etc. He has not fixed the problem.

    I stop using the printer for 2 weeks. But yesterday, I try agin, then the problem is gone.

    I don't know what to say. Thanks to HP for assistance.

    Overall, the servie is nice - just called him several times.
