• can not get the color option in the dialog box print in snow leopard w/epson

  I upgraded to snow leopard and then updated

  my printer epson 595 driver. but when I go to print, the print dialog box print settings has no color option. It is grayed - out any of my old settings or type of paper I use.  called Epson and they had opened something in preview.  I have the color option, they say it's a prob of pshop.  any ideas?

  

  Well, for a 'proper' color workflow, when you choose Photoshop to manage colors (and select the correct destination profile) you are supposed to choose without color management in the Epson driver. (which is now indicated by the parameter of color being disabled... I guess) there are a number of sites that go through the steps of printing from Photoshop for an Epson, but I don't know if they have this covered new behavior.

• turn off the photosmart print color 6525

  I use a Mac with OS X V.10.9.4 and have a PhotoSmart 6525. I can't seem to disable printing color for all documents, even when I select ' print black & white ' or ' grayscale print ' in the reference of the printer. It prints colors perfectly, but sometimes I want to just grey quick docs. I tried the HP utility, but could not find the opportunity to let me choose whether to print in color or black & white. I still want the parser must be able to scan in color, but the option for printing.

  Anyone know how to solve this apparently simple problem that me completely baffled?

  Thank you!

  AirPrint driver will allow you to choose the option to print in "black and white".

  

• HP C5180: Printer color problems

  I have a HP C5180 printer and printing color is messed up. My black watch diagnosis page than black, yellow-green with yellow strips, Lt Cyan shows as a dark cyan, cyan is white, Lt Magenta is dark blue, Magenta is Lt. blue. Anyone know how to fix this... I changed the printer cartirdges... the same problem. I cleaned the print heads. several times and followed the suggestions on the tech support pages. I would not only use this printer as a black and white printer.

  Hey @TomTwist,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I would like to help you today to solve print quality problems you are having with your HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-One Printer. Because you have already replaced the ink cartridges and clean the printhead several times nothing is done, there is a good chance to have a defective print head. The print head is what reads the cartridge and puts ink on the page. On your print head template system is a non-replaceable part. Therefore, should that do not pass part a replacement of the entire unit would be necessary. However, I would like to go through the following steps to conveniently solve this problem of quality.

  I won't make you run any printhead more clean. The rule is usually 2 or 3 clean makes no difference at all, don't make a fourth because when you clean the printhead system it uses ink in order to rinse the ink system. If 2 or 3 clean make no difference that you're just wasting if you run a clean more.

  Step 1: Calibrate the colors:

  1. open the printer Toolbox: HP Solution Center. This should be on the desktop of your computer.

  2. If you have more than one printer installed, be sure to select the correct printer tab in the HP Solution Center

  3. click on settings

  4. click on print settings.

  5. click on printer Toolbox.

  6. on the device Services tab, click color to calibrate, and then follow the instructions on the screen. The procedure takes about two minutes and requires two sheets of paper.

  Source: The printed colors are not colors should

  If the problem persists, please continue to the next step.

  Step 2: Align the print head:

  1. click on HP Solution Center's on your desktop

  2. click on settings.

  3. click on print settings

  4. click on printer Toolbox.

  5. on the tab Services of device the printer, Toolbox, click align the print cartridges, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

  Source: Streaks or lines in the printed Image

  Please test print once these two steps have been taken. If the issue of quality still persists, because you have already replaced your cartridges the next step would be a replacement of the entire unit.

  If you want to explore additional options available for your printer, I suggest you contact the Technical Support queue by phone.

  HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 1800-474-6836.

  Original title: help, please!

  I have a HP Deskjet 3050 printer.  When I try to print colored ephemera that I bought and downloaded from Etsy, the color is off and the image lost its detail.  The downloaded images are in JPEG format.  When I consult the in file folder they are in, they look beautiful, but when I print, they are terrible and useless.  I installed new color and black cartridges and tried the digital paper.  Nothing helps.  Any suggestions?

• Does not print color

  First, it started with my HP 6700 (driver ver 2.1) and now I just tried with my HP Envy 7640 (driver ver 2.0) on a 2nd network.

  • It prints color as gray or half-tone scale (don't know what you call it - it's not color).
  • Both printers print test ok colors page from the printer configuration options.
  • Both printers copy ok color documents.
  • Ink colors are in full in two printers (from the printer check ink level option).
  • Only when I try to print color on my computer (tried with both my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air + MacBook Air my wife). I tried printing photos (which is where I first noticed the problem) and Web sites and documents. No color.

  I'm under El Capitan 10.11.1 but it started with Yosemite.
   
  I deleted the driver and reinstalled. No resolution of the issue.
   
  I even made a regeneration of permission (just in case). I have all the updates
   
  Thus, it prints but not in color.  Colors print as gray or semitone scale.
   
  A world without color is pretty dull.

  Suggestions welcome ;-)

  Found new driver just released yesterday (25/10/2015), which fixed the problem

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Officejet Pro 8100 won't print color after update software on Mac

  I have a MacBook Air with OS X (Yosemite 10.10.3)-.

  When I connect the printer via USB, I was able to print by using the generic drivers on the machine. However, as expected, update software detected an update for HP drivers - I installed.

  And now the printer does not print in color. I checked every setting I can think, but it is still printing in black and white.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Welcome to the @mandikayencforum!

  I have read your current position and the previous thread on how you were not and are not able to print in color from your Mac running 10.10. I saw that already test pages were color printing and would like to know if the test always pages print in color. If they do, a matter for the Mac somewhere, and I have some suggestions for you to do below. If the test pages no longer print in color, please let me know! If the printer is not printing in color when you print test pages, there is probably a problem of cartridge or printer hardware problem.

  1. follow the same steps of @Waterboy71 on your other thread here to reset the permissions system disk and repair of printing: Re: Officejet Pro 8100 refuses to print color (OS X 10.9)

  2. If you still do not have the ability to select the color printing on your Mac, try the procedure described in this post from wisgirl64: Re: won't print in color from my Mac or iPhoto for HP photosmart D110

  If you find that the color print test pages, and the Mac does not give you the options to choose color printing, I suggest getting in touch with Apple support experts to see if they can help fix the problem of the OS X.

• Photosmart C8180 All-in-one: not able to print colors light magenta and magenta

  I bought photosmart c8180 about 3 years as a spare printer. I set up and printed a few pages. A printer was perfectly fine.  Last week, I decided to use this printer. When I tried to print, color photos are released totally foires.  I used the tools-alignment option and received a message that alignment was successful.  A printed page has rectangular bars at the end of the page and a magenta bar as well. He also printed two birds with some magenta color. For me, it's proof that the printer can use magenta colors. However, a self-test page came out without any of the magenta color. Under the color of the light magenta and magenta stars boxes were missing.

  I look at the Forum and find out that some people had the same problem.  It dates back to the years of 2011. There are several experts HP answers to how to solve this particular problem.  However, even if it is from 2011 tread has been always open because these so-called 'experts' were not useful. I tried all - they do not help us.

  I called technical support and representatives of hp told me that they cant't help me because this model is discontinued. They also surprised me a bit telling me to throw this printer.  If this is the best solution for this problem of ink for 8100 Series, then, please confirm as an expert. The thead element has been open since 2011 and I don't know that it's time to shut it down.

  Please, answer

  Hello

• DeskJet 3510 - printing color word documents

  My 3510 newly installed Deskjet prints color on the test pages, but does not print Microsoft Word documents docX Mac in color (just black & white).   I don't see anywhere in the printing options to choose the color.  We have an IMac OS X 10.8.5 and Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.3.8. Can someone give me advice on how to make this work?  Thank you!!

  I just talked to HP and found the solution to my problem.  I'll post the answer here in case someone else is struggling with this too.  The technology suggested I go to the window printing & scanning (in system preferences), then remove the deskjet printer and then add the printer deskjet again.  That fixed my problem and now I can print my document in color.

• Configure the color Options for Mac 8600

  This may sound crazy, but it's true.  I can't understand how to select color c. gray-scale printing.

  My computer is Mac OS 10.8.3 and I use an Officejet Pro 8600.

  Any help will be useful.
