Photosmart 7960: Photosmart 7960: color printing problem print Brown instead of Red

Instead of printing red print Brown.

Hi @Goodindian,

Although the issue you described is different from what the title in the following document States, the proposed solution might help: printed Images contain blanks or streaks of single color.

I understand your Red looks more like Brown when it prints, I think that the cleaning cartridges can help. The above will help you in this. Also, please make sure that your ink cartridge ink level is adequate.

I hope this helps. If this resolves the issue, please click Accept as Solution to identify your request as resolved. Thank you.

    I'm sorry you have a problem with red yellow printing.

    See if you can get out of the print head and clean it with water and lint. There is a lock to the right of the cartridges. Lift it up and out of the area of the basket. It's your print head.

    I have a document in color. The HP setting is grayscale.

    When I print, what color prints in various shades of Red

    Black letters to print in black, which is what I want

    {Information}

    Usually the graphics are printed with the color cartridge, even if printing in grayscale.  Looking for a "Use black ink" parameter only  Regarding the Red print, probably your cyan ink is not enough.

  • HP Photosmart B109n-z (printing problem) Please help

    Hi all

    I have the HP Photosmart B109n-z printer and put up wireless and it works fine I had no problem with him.

    The other day the black ink stopped working - the cartridge is not empty but it's is no longer black prinking on all documents.  Since I put all new cartridges in, he acknowledges them all, including black, and if I print something like a word document, and then it moves as if printing but the page comes out blank - no black ink is used.

    I work for myself, and work at home, it will get this resolved as soon as possible.

    I checked the cartidge - it's good.

    I checked the connection and the Bay print cartridge - they are clean.

    Help, please.

    The color works fine.

    The issue of black ink is the same print, scan or copy.

    And I have tried turning everything off and on again!

  • 5510 Series Photosmart B: Photosmart HP 5510 printer

    A few years ago I bought a HP 5510 Photosmart B series printer and everything seemed to go well until last year.

    I had to replace a black cartridge, so we bought a set of cartridges HP, and I adapted the black one as requested.

    The machine then told me that another color necessary evolution, so I did, and ended up changing all the colors that seemed strange.

    I then had a series of flaws, saying that the cartridges were defective, or they were empty. However after have released them several times and replacing the fault corrected its self.

    This then breed arpound 6 months later, but it corrects itsself finally.

    Today, I bought a new set of cartridges, as the printer says that I needed Blak again. I had exactly the same faults, and no matter what I faults will not disappear.

    Its saying that one or more of the cartridges appear to be missing or damaged. Install or replace the affected cartridges.

    Whenever I refill the cartridges, its indicators until a different color that needs to be replaced

    I admit it's now me depressed, and these cartridges are not exactly cheap to replace

Colors will be printed, and there is no error message. Wireless printer works from a PC with Windows Vista.

    Help, please.

    Hi, if the printer is on a thing of warranty that may be worth soaking the print head...

    (1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
    (2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
    (3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
    (4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
    (5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

  • HP Photosmart C6280: my HP Photosmart C6280 ceased printing and copying. I use a Mac OS 10.10.5

    My HP Photosmart C6280 stopped printing and copying. I use a Mac OS 10.10.5. The printer seems to work, but no ink is on paper with a function.

    I installed a new black ink cartridge and select "black only" with the same results. All the other ink levels are sufficient.

    I would appreciate your help. The printer has been idle for a few days but a previous usage has been a success.

    • On the printer control panel, press 'Setup '.
    • Press the down arrow button to select Tools and press OK.
    • Press the down arrow button to select "Clean printhead" and press OK.
    • If the print quality is acceptable, you can stop troubleshooting.
    • If the print quality is unacceptable, perform a print head cleaning.

    Hi @Ron9871,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to get your printer HP Photosmart C6280 wireless printing. 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 would like to try the steps in this guide, "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 10).

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note: the IPV4 IP.
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.

    Please restart the router, the printer and the computer in this sequence.

    If you're still having problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    You can try to change your WSD printer port by a Standard TCP/IP port.

    To do this, you will need your current IP address printers.  The Network Setup page shows the parameters of network for the product. To print this page; Press the button of network () on the control panel of the product.
