• HP Officejet 6000 Print gray instead of black

  Hello

  My HP Officejet 6000 works well for about a year until today, where he began to print light gray instead of black.

  My officejet is attached via USB directly to my PC, I'm under Ubuntu 12.04 with gnome shell. Used to work out of the area to print. I just install HPLIP Toolbox to see if I can fix anything, but that was no help. I exchanged the inktank black for a new, but that did not help either one. The gray looks perfect gray and not a faded defective, black dryness. I tried to change the output of color mode in the settings of the printer to the only black than gray, and the printer does not print the necessary ink at all. Is this a software problem? Or printer hardware problem? I tried printing from my laptop and had the same problem.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Problem solved. I got my printer to my friend who has a Windows PC and a test print looked fine. I thought it must be a Linux question then. I have connected my printer to my PC Ubuntu again, and for the hell of it, I tried to print a test page and go figure, it worked. Maybe unplug the printer helped solve the problem? BTW, when I meet my problem, the printer was not actually printing gray instead of black by mixing the inktanks color. I discovered that she did not use the black tank at all. I'm glad that everything works again without having to really fix anything. So if anyone else has this problem, try disconnecting the printer, and then try again. That could be the solution. Turn off the PC one on or the printer doesn't help.

• Photosmart C5380: My Photosmart C5380 printer Green instead of black

  Occationally my printer prints green instead of black.

  Sometimes it's at the beginning of a document, and sometimes it's in the middle of a document.

  I tried to change the cartridge, but have the same result.

  Best regards

  Hi @tobby37 ,

  I want to help you with this issue, black is sometimes printing in green. You have changed the cartridge and having the same results.

  I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
  Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
  This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  Try the following steps to see if it will solve the problem.

  Message "Ink cartridge problem" on the printer.

  Please do not take into account the title.

  You use genuine HP cartridges?
  What are the ink levels?

  Please let me know if you need additional assistance.

  Have a fantastic day!
  Thank you.

• Printer prints blue instead of black

  I have a HP 6840, has worked well and suddenly started printing blue instead of black.  Prints all other colors, but not black.  On the test page, everything is blue, except two small squares at the top that are dark gray.

  Any thoughts?

  The test page actually uses a combination of color to print what appears as black text.  It seems that you will need a black cartridge.

  It is not uncommon for the third-party products to have poor quality, see the study here for more details.

• Want 4520: want printing 4520 red instead of black

  Recently, my 4520 began to print red only when I want to print in black. I get around this by removing the color cartridge. However, it is not a good solution. As part of the copy of the screen, I select 'Black Start' when you make a copy. This does not resolve the situation.

  Hi @nwnittany49and welcome to the Forums of HP!

  I'd love to help you with your urge for 4520. According to your description, I understand that the printer will not print black when you have both cartridges installed, and instead, it prints red. Please use the following document to solve the problem and I would like to know the results of your efforts: HP printers - color or black ink not print.

• Prints blue instead of black

  I have a HP Photosmart B210, more.  My black text (and pictures) print light blue instead of black.  I replaced the cartridge twice and I always feel the same question.  I cleaned the print heads several times.

  just to repeat the solution.  Choose Printer Preferences and fast/economical printing.  Also in the grayscale option choose black ink only.

• 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.

• 660 prints yellow instead of Red

  6600 HP prints yellow Instead of Red - after replacement of all the installation cartridges (red has worked before changing the cartridge...) YES... .to HP replacement cartridges).

  Unplug and restart the ISID printer do not work. Clean the metal tabs on the printer and the cartridges were not working.

  Suggestions...

  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.

  Here is a link that may help you also, if you have not done.

• PSC 1315xi All in one print in color instead of black on windows 7 and 8

  In our House, we have three computers: two laptops, one running windows 7 and one running windows 8 and one desktop running windows xp.

  On our office it prints fine, but on two laptops when trying to print black text Print instead in a grayish blue color. I am trying to print in color works on all computers. Or ink cartridges are empty.

  As he works on the desktop, I guess it's a driver issue, but I can't find a solution.

  Hello

  What ink cartridges you actually have in the right slot of the printer, a black cartridge 56/27 or a 58 Photo ink cartridge?

  The supplied sample occurs even if you have a Photo cartridge in the printer...

  With the help of a cartridge Photo is not intended for printing the text in black, but for printing Photos and will not have a gray color effect...

• HP Deskjet 970Cse only prints red after the new color cartridge installed.

  HP Deskjet 970Cse only prints red after the new color cartridge installed. I use black HP 45 and HP 78 color. Both are new. I know the printer is an older model, but it works well a month ago.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you for your help.  It was a faulty cartridge.  I pressed a white cloth on the ink source and only yellow and blue were visible, without red (magenta).  I've returned the fabric and cartridge in the store (with my receipt) and managed to get another canister... it worked!  Both cartridges have dates of expiry of 2016.  Glad I didn't have to spend time troubleshooting my printer.

• HP Deskjet 3070: I try to print red, but it comes out yellow

  Hello

  I have a HP Deskjet 3070 e-all-in-one - B611a. I was able to print correctly before of my HP Pavilion laptop to Windows 7 32-bit OS, but last week my printer started acting strange. When I try to print the text in red, it comes out yellow. When I try to print a purple variant, he leaves little green lifestyle. If I want to print Yellow, blue or black, it is printed correctly. I checked the ink cartridges, they have been placed correctly. I cleaned the print head, did not help. It seems as if my printer cannot print red more or the Red cartridge is somehow filled yellow ink... Can someone help me please?

  THX,

  Frederik

• Photosmart C & 180 will not print red

  The printer has suffered when we had a power cut and he was turned on.

  Since then, it will not print red. (I just get yellow).

  Have looked through the wire "Will not print Magenta", I'm not sure who, magenta cartridges (or both), I need to try hard - or if there are a few other adjustments that I do.

  Hello Phil1812,

  Please confirm the process you have already finished.

  Another process, you could try is as follows:

  (1) remove all ink cartridges.

  (2) close the ink access door.

  (3) disconnect the printer.

  (4) wait for about 30 seconds.

  (5) connect the printer.

  (6) a message indicating to load the cartridges should appear on the control panel.

  (7) reload cartridges.

  Kind regards
