  Hey,.

  My deskjet 3520 printer is not printing color.

• HP Officejet 4630 does not print color

  I am trying to print photos colors from my mac to my wireless printer. The computer and the printer register that there is a color ink cartridge in the printer, but it will just print colored picures. I downloaded and redownloaded the driver, y at - there a step I'm missing?

  I'm glad to hear that it is not the printer @clairej7.

  It probably has something to do with the driver, or the CUPS on the computer.

  CUPS consists of a print spooler and Scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data in a format that the printer will understand and a back-end system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the IPP (Internet Printing) Protocol as a basis for the management of the work of printing and queues. - Source
  

  Whatever it is, to solve this problem, I suspect that the best approach is to reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, add the printer using the driver and try to print again.

  Reset the printing system

  1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

• HP officejet 8100 do not print color

  Hello

  Have a new Officejet 8100, which printed color for 3 weeks - only 51 leaves it. All cartridges are 80% full.  After printing of not a few days the color on the printed page was various shades of gray.

  A print test page shows all cartridges different gray printing, except one that prints blues aqua dull.

  Installed the printer on a win xp operating sysem to eliminate software problems on my win 7 64-bit system, but still exactly the same problem, so must be something in the printer, I guess.

  The ideas of the most popular resolution, or look back at the store would be the next step.

  See you soon

• 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

• HP Deskjet 2540 not print color

  Hi all! I bought a printer HP Deskjet 2540. I installed using the diskette provided to me and does not print color. I use a Mac version 10.9.4 and I think I need to download a driver updated online, but if not, what can I do to get it printing color? Thank you!

  Hi @patrick_doll

  You are able to copy in color? If so, you're probably right about the question has something to do with the software or driver.

  If you are unable to copy in color, please use the following document to solve the problem; Printer cannot print black ink or color ink, or prints blank Pages

  If, however, you can copy in color please complete the following steps;

  Reset the printing system

  1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

• My HP psc 1110 does not print colors when I use the shortcut keyboard F12 key to print. considering that it is p

  I just bought printer HP psc 1110 and despite I loaded the print from the HP website driver and together it up correctly, it has new ink cartridges, it does not print color to color text pages when I use the the keyboard F12 shortcut key to show.  I have the microsoft intelli wireless keyboard.  Although that it prints very well in color while I use the method of dialogue of the system either by pressing "Ctrl + Shift + P" keys together.   I have another canon printer canon pixma 1500 a former model, even this canon allows to print in color using one of the methods above to print.  I'm curious to know why HP is behaving as it is with me.  Can someone knowledgeable enough to enlighten us on this issue and help me on this problem, please.  I would be grateful if someone can send me a response.

  Hi Ngoyi-Malik,

  OK, when you right click and select print work properly?

  If you come to open a different document in your Word and press Crtl P it prints correctly?

  The question seems that it is related to the program that you use for your missions. You may need to continue to press the Maj LTRC P in order to get the color to print from this application program. Let me know if the Word printing works well?

• 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

  Because the printer is out of warranty, technical support may provide you option to get an improved printer (a different model) with a little low prices.

  There is a problem with the printhead (ink delivery system) that cannot be repaired.
