• DeskJet D2360: Deskjet 2360 - prints wrong colors, even if the test page seems well

  In 10 (64-bit) Windows, Deskjet D2360 prints the well test page, but the colors aren't any application (documents, photos...). Cyan looks like dark blue. Green also appears dark blue. I just updated the drivers from the HP website, but the behavior remains the same.

  The problem appeared after Windows 10 updates (January 2016 and later versions).

  Print and Scan Doctor couldn't fix it. Help!

  (Suggestion: If your printer prints the test page, why not propose an image file with what the test is supposed to look like.) This is useful especially to confirm colors. If I have a print test and see a few squares of color, how could I know if they are the correct colors?)

  After a long period of frustration, I found the non-professional magic solution:

  I wasn't sure if you meant that you have downloaded and installed the full feature software, or if you use the preinstalled Windows drivers. Here is the link to the full feature software: DJ_AIO_03_F2200_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_140_404 - 4.exe

  If you haven't already done so.

• Artifacts and print wrong colors Deskjet D4160

  My Deskjet D4160 print colors wrong in Normal mode. It prints correctly in optimized mode. For example, it will print rose instead of orange. I saw him print pink instead of blue. It prints very well when it is in optimized mode, but not in Normal or fast mode. I installed the brand new HP inkjet cartridges in the printer of the brand. Also I sometimes get artifacts on the page when you print in Normal mode. At first I thought it was because I used off the coast of brand cartridges, but the same problem occurred when I installed HP cartridges brand as well. If anyone can help me with this problem I would be very happy.

  I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue. One thing you can do is to clean the head of printing and cartridges on the Solution Center.

  You can also uninstall and reinstall the software and drivers.

  It seems that the communication between the printer and the computer is not on the same page when it comes to color printing.

  I would like to know if these steps help, or what is happening.

• HP Deskjet D2460: Printer SOMETIMES prints wrong colors. New black cartridge prints SOMETIMES?

  The transition to Windows 10, I had problems with the printed colors.  Recently, I installed 2 new black cartridges and with each had the problem that it does not correctly print black.

  I did a test clean cartridge HP page and it was perfect. Next an Excel sheet printing showed only a few black and the other showed no black at all. (Note that the blue parts are out more purple than blue).

  Any help gratefully received.

• DeskJet F4140: Printer prints wrong colors after updating windows 10

  Hi all

  This is my first post here on the forums and it's a doozy.

  I've updated my laptop last night from 8.1 to win to win 10.  Power seems to work well except my Deskjet F4140 printer. It prints, but the colors are false.  bruises are red, red green, green are "purple", made for an interestng very a first impression. I did all the usual stuff, troubleshooting, test the page clean and align the heads. Uninstall and reinstall to make sure it was getting the windows 10 driver, but alas my problem remains. I tried to find a way to change the mode of compataibility and can't find my file .exe for the printer. I know it's and older printer, but it works like a top and I'd hate to have to replace it because of this problem.

  TLR

  update to win 10 and colors are off like hell.

  Thank you

  Robbie

  Finally fixed my printer not through HP. What I had to do is access the so-called Godmode on windows 10. It allows to access all the parameters of the user as well hidden and non-hidden in one place. I went down to my printer and changed its functioning as windows 8.1 and it works as it should. You should be able to learn more about the Google's God mode command line script. Thank you and good night.

• C6280 prints wrong colors after two changes of cartridges

  I have the C6280 for about 6 months and it prints green for magenta, change cartridges twice and it prints now yellow instead of magenta. All the answers?

  This only happens when you print, or when you perform a copy too?

  In addition, print a self-test report by pressing the Setup button > tools > self-test report. Do you see the mismatch of colors here, too?

• CP 1025: CP1025 wrong color or white pages after the first page

  Hello
  Our company have 3 cp1025 printers. 2 of them get a problem (almost at the same time) which can be described as follows:

  -printing wrong colors, colors are mixed, for example indeed black color prints blue and it is colorless. It doesn't go to the first page, in addition to pages only.
  -printing of blank pages. First page printed perfectly, more pages are blank.

  We do not find a problem. Tried to change the new drum unit, pilots, we are working on Win XP and Win 7. Can you say something about this problem?

  One problem was a dirty printer. It was full of dust of color toners. Once it has been disassembled and cleaned, print get to normal. It's a good lesson on the use of non-original toners, some of them was poor in quality and color of dust fell to the mechanisms of the printer.

• In the window 'Print Preview' colors are wrong

  I use Photoshop CS on a G4 Mac (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.

  I usually use "Print preview" to print photos. I used to get good results, but something seems to have changed (or I accidentally changed a setting somewhere). When I open an image in Photoshop, the colors on my screen (which I regularly calibrate) look right. But when I go to 'Print Preview', the displayed image in the layout window is now much darker, red are more Browns and generally shades seem quite wrong. And what is even worse, is that when I print, the results correspond to the wrong colors in the preview window and not the correct colors that I see when I look at the image directly into Photoshop.

  I have attached a screenshot, showing a picture of open directly in Photoshop CS color test (left) and (to the right) how it looks in the preview window.

  Can anyone suggest what could have gone wrong? I would be very grateful for the suggestions.

  

  What should I put my workspace? Adobe RGB or sRGB? Taking into
  mind that I shoot RAW images and usually want to work in Adobe RGB
  (1998)?

  I recommend first of ALL in the color selection Photoshop settings something like us Prepress Defaults to activate three PRESERVE embedded profiles and three warnings in profile and reset all dinking around someone could have made in advanced here.

  Then select the RGB and CMYK job, then immediately save these settings with a unique nme so that you can tell if someone has changed something.

  Here is a screenshot of my settings:

  

  If you understand not work and target profile questions and want the highest quality RGB color, I would recommend setting RGB of Photoshop ProPhoto RGB work and implementation of Adobe Camera Raw to open your RAW in ProPhoto RGB 16-bit images... it works for the me... or you can keep working RGB from Photoshop to Adobe RGB, or sRGB if you are not sure of what you are doing.

  PS: Here is a download of the GettyImages Photodisc test image in print resolution AppleRGB, AdobeRGB, sRGB, and ProPhotoRGB

• Will not print in color from my Mac or iPhoto for HP photosmart D110

  My printer will print only in black and white when I print from my Mac OS X 10.6.4 on my printer.  I uploaded the photos I photo and print only in black and white.  When I put the card directly into the printer, it prints fine color.

  HP website was no help at all with this issue.  All of the suggestions.

  Print a self-test of the front of the printer. It prints color? If this is not the case, there is something wrong with your color cartridge. What version of Mac OS X?

• C4480: Printing labels color leads to double image, levels of grayscale print normally

  I have a C4480 which generally prints normally.

  However, when I print a pdf file that I created for some labels, it prints a miniature double image on all labels on the left side (except the top one). The pdf file is displayed correctly on the screen and I got another print the PDF on a different printer and it works beautifully.

  I tried changing various settings and the only thing that gets him to print normally is by selecting the grayscale option.
  But I need the labels in color.

  Below I have downloaded images of what happens.

  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  

  As you can see there is a mini image superimposed on all but one on the left side.
  If I change the grayscale setting, then it prints normally, as shown in the photo below, but I can't print in color without headband mini image on the left side.
  I have the latest driver installed and am using true color 75XL ink cartridges HP and 74XL black.
  This would cause a wrong color printhead? Its the only thing I can find at the moment, except maybe a few problem of buffer memory in the printer itself, I have tried everything I can think.

  

  Well after weeks trying to fix this issue myself and 2 days looking for an answer here...

  Problem solved.

  Took the C4480 to Goodwill, bought an Epson XP-630

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless very wrong colors

  Any help would be appreciated!  Very bad colors! Orange print as gray.  Green print as gray coal.  Red prints as Burgundy. Most of all colors is in a purple to dark gray range. Sky blue is the only colour that prints like this would be as expected. Yellow seems to not print. My cartridges are new (80 + dollars). I made a Page of Diagnostics of HP Print quality and target 2 looks GREAT. Just all the wrong colors. I ran scan doctor, no help. I checked the contacts on the ink cartridges and print heads. The ink is visible on the print and print head stud tips heads. I wiped on a napkin Cyan print heads and Maginta are clearly visible on the towel, not so, Black Yellow is clearly present. Black text is the only thing that prints perfectly. P.S. I cleaned the printheads that so many times I have used a little less than a quarter of the ink in the cartridges. I guess I thought that 10th time could be better than the third time (unfortuneatly not so much).

  Hello Testpatern2. I'll need a little more information to help. Where it no scratches in focus 2 where the yellow content should be?  You use the unfilled genuine HP cartridges?

  Since you have problems with the color mix in colors like orange and green; and there seems to be no way out of the yellow part on the black and Yellow Printhead ink, we might have a problem with the printhead and would need to replace it. Here is the document that should be used to solve problems of quality in your printer model. You can skip the steps that you have already tried, but I re - print a diagnostic page and use the instructions to read the test images. I hope this helps.

• HP 8600 only prints in color

  When you print from word or a page online, the printer will print in color, even when black & white is selected. I tried changing the settings to print from black cartridge only, but still, it prints in color. Is that some plans by HP to sell more color cartridges? It is amazing that such a large company would not have a fix for this problem. I have updated all drivers, but still have the problem. Hope someone has a solution.

  OK, thanks for the clarification.
  Yes, if you set the printer "Print in grayscale" property, the printer prints using a black ink only.
  Some applications (new office, web browser, etc.) has its own print settings and I'm guessing that you have checked the 'Black and White' instead of 'Color', these applications so-called u-turn and set the properties of the printer to help, but something went wrong. If so, click on "Print using System dialog" and check the "print in grayscale". The printer will print in black.

  That is right. The requires iTunes 12.3.3 and in order to get it, you will need to update OS X to El Capitan. That's how Apple has created for better or worse, I'm sorry.

• Photosmart HP 6520 - print in color, not black and white

  I have had this printer for some time and configure options so that it used only the black cartridge unless I put it specifically to do otherwise when I wanted to color.  It worked well and I could switch between black and white and color very easily.  A few weeks ago, the printer started to ignore the options I would set and printed in color.  I double checked the parameters, and the printer is always set up for black and white, but now it completely ignores and still print in color.

  I tried the settings at the time of printing, and that indicates that the image in black and white, it still prints in color.

  I haven't added any software or made any changes to my pc.

  Can someone help me with this, please?

  Hi Lulu and thank you for the reply!

  I suggest to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.  Once you have run the tool successfully, try again the configuration in black and white.

  Please let me know the results.
