  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Printer does not print in color

    I just got the color cartridges refilled at Costco. Now, my printer does not print in color.  I printed out a diagnosis and cartridges are showing that they are full.  The actual color of magenta is a deep rose, so I know that some of the magenta is crossing. Cyan (blue) and yellow printed black on diagnostic tests.  I know that Costco filled cartridges with the appropriate color because I can see the color on/in the cartridge.  Suggestions on what to try? I bought the printer on January 27, 2013.

  • CP1020 HP does not print in color low ink bc BW

    Hello

    I've been struggling with this for months...

    Of course, this printer color cartridges run out after 50 pages or so... terrible... but at least the BW prints nearly 500 pages... not bad...

    Anyway,.

    Whenever the COLOR cartridge is low, it FARM DOWNS ANY impression, especially BW... I can't print on BW, when well even the cartridge BW is full... WHY?

    I chose the option to "continue" to print on device settings when the color cartridges are weakening... and yet, it still does not print...

    IS THERE A WAY TO BYPASS THE CARTRIDGES COLOR AND PRINTING BLACK AND WHITE ONLY? I can NOT BELIEVE HP MADE some THING so SIMPLE SO COMPLICATED... they are supposed to be leaders in printing technology and yet they cannot even conceive something that should be so simple...

    Help, please!

    I corrected thanks... something in the control panel of configuration/printers... Administrator has been selected then 'it' could only print... Vista, Multiswitch is generally a FKN JOKE... It's my last Windows computer... Bloggy one MAC

  • Printer does not print in color after installing new ink cartridge

    I have a HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one printer.   Windows 7 is my OS.  I have made no other changes to my computer before this problem.

    My problem:

    I installed a genuine HP brand new yellow ink cartridge in my computer because my other cartridge was empty.  After that I installed a new cartridge, my printer normally goes through an initialization process.  This time he did that.  Now when I try to print anything in color, I get a window that says "ink empty Casrtridges.   To print in color, install the following cartridges: yellow "then turns and she says in that it can only print in black."

    I did a Test print.  I ran "clean cartridges".  I did a 'print align.   All these prints in color, including the yellow.  I also did a color copy and printed the color yellow.   Ink level shows the yellow as a FULL cartridge.

    I have tried with 3 new genuine HP yellow ink cartridges and it still doesn't let me do a color print.  I have rebooted my system, unplugged the printer several times and it still will not print color.

    What else could be my problem?  What else can I try?

    Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

    It seems that the error got stuck in the printer driver. Try to uninstall and reinstall the printer software. That should clear up the problem. I'll link the latest software and drivers below. Let me know what happens.
