Sudden failure to print photos in color (only photos)

Operating a HP Photosmart C309g printer with OS Windows 7 64 - bit.

Have printed several color photos, but suddenly will be only black and white printing.  Ordinary color scanning and printing is fine - just photos.

Through a series of normal printing windows that display the image in color until the very last print statement when the picture goes to black and white.

Verification of diagnosis on the printer shows all ok

Tim, I would re - install the software that gives you problems.

  • failure to print photos

    I have always used "Microsoft Picture It" to print my photos, however all of a sudden my printer (HPPhotosmart 7510) tells me I have the wrong size inside paper any size I have loaded in the printer.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • HP photosmart Premium All in o: how to print in black ink only, when all the colors are empty except new black tank.

    In the past, I was able to print with cartridge black new xl size, although all colors are empty city black photo.

    I have upgraded to OS to win 10 and my printer does not print with black ink only.  I ran a test and black ink appears here.  I print a few things ok in black only before having to make a reset in progress and had to reinstall a ton of programs and software.  No matter what I do with the properties, it will not be printed on the page and try to use colorful tanks that are empty.  It was never a problem before using win 7.  Please help ASAP!

    There are a few things to check:

    • Make sure the paper type is set to plain paper.  If Auto is selected and is confused with the Photo paper paper or photo paper is selected only the color and photo cartridges will be used.  (The pigmented black ink cartridge is not compatible with photo paper).
    • Define advanced settings for printing in grayscale, black ink only.  Otherwise, the printer may by default using inks from color for chart areas, since this offers a better print quality due to the smaller droplets of ink color.
  • The printer refuses to mix 2 cartridges to print photo (color + black)

    Hello.

    I have printer HP Officejet 4500 Wireless.

    It works fine, but at the last moment, there is a problem.

    When I want to print a photo to the printer refuses to mix cartridges (black + color) in the field of photography.

    For example if I want to print a photo.

    I can print it as a black and white using the black cartridge (by action) OR I can print with the color cartridge only.

    When I print color photo black colors ARE NOT black... It is a mixture of colours (red + blue + yellow)...

    The printer refuses to use 2 cartridges at the same time on the same area... Why?

    When I print a document with images, it prints the text in black, the color of the text, but in the field of photography, he refuses to add the color black... It simulate the black by mixing of the colors(Red+Blue+Yellow)... Why?

    It is only in the AREA that this printer has to use 2 cartridges at the same time in the same place...

    I have 2 cartridges, one black and the other is colored (red, blue, yellow).

    I recharge them and everything is fine... I have printed a lot of pictures...

    The printer considers a HALF FILLED and printed all that I need very good, expect pictures...

    THE PROBLEM APPEARED A WEEK AGO... NOTHING HAS CHANGED...

    I USED TO PRINT PHOTOS AND HE DIDN'T FAKE THE BLACK COLOR...

    That's the problem for me... Because all the photos I print is delivered with a ridiculous BLACK color...

    PS - I understand electronic and parameters. I tried to change the settings of the printer and I tried to change the settings on the computer to change the color settings. I tried to use Photoshop with PRO settings for color printing.

    SOLVED!

    I changed the settings of paper to Matte 'Photo' (although the photo paper is any MAST)

    But now the printer uses a 2 cartridge.

    Hello

    You can use the color ink only by removing the small black cartridge.

    You can find the next steps in his guide of the user as a reference:

    Use single-cartridge
    Use single-cartridge use the HP ENVY 4500 series with only one cartridge. The
    mode Single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of ink cartridges.

  • HP 4480 print with the color cartridge only.

    The all-in-one Deskjet printer copied a page and printed it happened to be all black text, and I did the copy without using the computer.  When I tried to do the same thing with the second page, only a small symbol of color in this page appeared on the paper.  I tried a new black cartridge, without result; the alignment sheet was only the blue rectangles and an arrow pink.  I tried to clean the printer heads and saw only the colored rectangles, not blacks, on the test page.

    There are a few spots on a page where the ink is gray instead of black, but everything is readable.  Maybe I soaked too long cartridge.

    Hello!

    With this printer, I found this tree of the article:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=7423&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&LC=en&product=3635378

    Here I'd say work items on the colors bleeding into one another and any material to help get this resolved related.

    Typically, this can be solved by cleaning the print heads and contacts within the printer. Be careful when you perform these steps well and I would say following the guide carefully.

    I hope this helps!

  • print photos in color with white lines on the photo

    When I print photos from my computer, the pictures have white lines running through. The color is good, but the white lines surf photography.

    Hello MaryHickey,

    If this problem is fixed after you have cleaned the print heads I think it's a problem with cartridges or heads.

    To resolve this, you will need to contact HP.

    Best regards

  • 5510 - photos print in black/grayscale only

    Photosmart 5510 model B111A, product #CQ176A - photos do not print in color, everything else done.

    Print pictures of the net or other documents in color, prints hardships are good color.

    Off in grayscale, uninstalled and reinstalled driver, used doctor print but no color photo.

    Material works very well and of good quality.  There must be a switch/something selection part I don't see.

    Any suggestions for the next round?

    @Hev

    I've attached another laptop to the printer, install the driver of all print and 5510 finest kind.

    Then of course, within parameters of Windows device something was wrong on the original PC.

    Found it changed the default values for color, photo, quality, paper, etc. to "custom" even after being selected and applied.

    Went to the top with color management, WCS and Gamut device must have been corrupted by the installation of some programs or a people person.  Managed to return to the default system and works perfectly.

    I still want to know what caused this in the coming days.

    Thank you for your support.

    Hi there @DFK43 , welcome to the Forums!

    I saw your post and I would like to offer my suggestion for the problem you are having with printing photos in color or black and white.

    First of all, to perform all the updates of Windows, select those optional too:

    Windows Update - ' do I need to check the updates?

    Try printing now, if the problem persists, try:

    1. uninstalling the printer software

    2. restart your PC

    3. Reinstall in 2 ways:

    (a) HP printer install wizard for Windows

    (b) HP Officejet Full Feature software and driver

  • How can I export to PDF for printing Offset, including colors and grayscale of the photo?

    After reading dozens of forum, I not yet found the answer.

    I made a photo album with full-colur and b & w photos for Offset print. I want to be for the b & w grayscale avoid the hues of colors possible. It seems that InDesign does not support the shades of gray, how images become dark. Even with export without any conversion of color or the destination and/or including profiles of original colors, the images are exported to obscurity as a PDF to grayscale.


    How can I export to PDF for printing Offset, including colors and grayscale of the photo?

    Yes, Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same

    This can become difficult because 3 programs manage proofing differently.

    Work spaces don't matter, document profiles that handle the preview. So here's the same image in grayscale, placed in the ID on the top and PS on the bottom. I put my info in Photoshop to display the profile of doc in the lower left corner. I can see the profile of my InDesign CMYK Document in my test format (CMYK work is different and is not used). The two profiles are actually the same coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of the PS).

    But the previews do not match because I disabled, so the preview InDesign is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview overprinting.

    If I turn on overprint preview, I get a match because I'm soft proofing for printing:
