HP C7250 has all colors of ink but won't print in color

My HP C7250 shows that all ink levels are OK on the display, but it won't print in color becasue it says tht the Cyan cartridge is low. I recently replaced the Cyan cartidge with a new one and the display shows that the ink level is full, but when i go to print I get a message that the ink level for Cyan is still low.
The printer is out of warranty. Anyone have an idea of how i can get this printer to print in color again?
I have tried reinstalling the catridge, and the same thing happens.

I know this was a while ago, but did you resolve it easily? Mine has full colors, including cyan at 80%. It won't use the cyan for color printing at all, so all the colors are off. I think I have to chagne teh printhead since I've already cleaned them and changed the ink cartridge. Just curious. Thanks.

My canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

Hi olschoolmike_1,
To try and resolve the issue, you will want to confirm that the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly by printing a nozzle check pattern from the printer. If the pattern does not print correctly, we recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer to try and get the ink to print.. To print the nozzle check pattern and perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here. If you still experience difficulty after performing the cleanings, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

My All-In-One 6500A Plus won't print any color from Internet Explorer (v8.0).

My All-In-One 6500A Plus won't print any color from IE (v8.0). I can print all colors from Word, PDF documents, photos, etc. - but not from ANY web page. At first it only printed Magenta ink, now it acts as if it's printing (feeds the paper, moves the print heads across the page and sounds like it's printing) but the paper comes out blank every time. If I change the print options to print grayscale and only use black ink, I can get a black only image of the web site.
As I said, ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS PRINT FINE. ONLY WEB PAGES WON'T PRINT, so please don't tell me it's the ink cartridges. ;-)

I guess it's time for me to change printer brands. It will be a long time before I get an HP anything again!

(Apologies for butting in wiclee.)
The effect is usually caused by trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system. Unfortunately it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 systems than Vista or XP. (The "Vortical" instructions which can fix it for almost all folks on Vista and XP aren't applicable to Windows 7.)
Try having a look through the following (unfortunately very long) topic. It contains a lot of information on the Windows 7 variants of this, and possible methods for fixing the various Segoe UI-related issues that might be in play:

this also happen with my iPhone 4.. I've used the same laptop for both and same iTunes account x

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Officejet 6210xi all in one won't print in color

I didn't use the color part of my printer for a year, then I bought and installed a new color ink cartridge. However, it still won't print in color. It will print in black but only black, no greyscale. I've tried cleaning the heads, resetting the system, I've double checked to make sure the ink cartridge is the correct one and it is. I've looked through all the faq's in the printers menu but nothing works. Any help is appreciated, I'm about to give up and just get a new printer.

Hi @Jaim_Faul ,
I see that you are having issues printing in color. You tried a new cartridge and have the same results. I would like to help
you out today.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.
Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors.
Go to Step 3 - Print a diagnostic page. Just to see if it is a hardware or software issue.
You mentioned that you cleaned the cartridge heads, I still included this document to make sure all the areas for the electrical contacts were cleaned on the cartridge and inside the printer. Cartridge Error. Disregard the title.

Word 2007 won't print in color

Running Windows XP Professional. HP 1610 won't print color fonts. Does fine if I specify the printing is to be gray scale. However, text with a colored font (i.e., non-black) won't print in color. The paper just ejects quickly if I specify draft printing. If I specify that the application should choose the printing options, it appear to print slowly line by line but without actually putting any ink on the paper.
The cartridges are fine and work with other applications.

I think a setting in the Printing Preferences on your PC where it prints all text as black has been enabled. I'm not sure of the exactly place you'll find it, but it is usually located in one of the tabs in Printing Preferences. I'm attaching a screenshot of another printers' settings window as a reference.

HP c7180 - Won't print one color[ New ]
12-28-2010 04:50 PM
My C7180 displayed a message that the ink cartridge was out of date and immediately stopped printing which used Mageneta. I replaced the cartridge and it still won't print this color. All other print functions and features are fine. If a photo or print requires red, however, it prints as yellow. Print tests show a small single horizonal line where the mageneta should be. Additionally, I've run the "clean print head" command. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

C4280 won't print one color

My C4280 started to print color badly a while ago and I new that the cartridge was getting low so I initially refilled it. Put it back in and it wouldn't print yellow. So I figured that I screwed something up and went and bought a new remanufactured cartridge today. Same thing, no yellow. Got on the phone with tech support and they bascially said that it sounded like the head is bad and of course I'm a month and a half out of warranty. Then they had the audacity to give me a "deal" on the exact same model. Anyone else have a problem like this that they've been able to fix? Am I missing something obvious?

CP2025dn won't Print in color after downloading Windows 10

I recently downloaded Windows 10 on my laptop (ASUS) and now My Color Laserjet CP2025dn won't print in color. Yes, I have already quarduple checked that it's marked to print in color. I tried printing from Powerpoint, Adobe, and Word. No luck. I also tried to download some drivers but it still won't work. It seems to be printing in black and white just fine. Please help as soon as possible. I have some very important things to print off.

I just tried printing from my friends Laptop, she still has windows 8, and it's working fine, so I know this is a windows 10 issue, can someone please help me with this?

Macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

Hi, I used the Mac setup instructions, not the PC ones. The printer was automatically recognised in print and scan when I connected it with a USB cable. I accessed the server's web-based page and followed all the instructions, but still no joy. Thanks for the tip about posting. I have just posted in the section you suggested, so let's see what happens. From a quick scan around the apple forums, lost of other people seem to having precisely the same problem (and not just with HP printers!), but unfortunately, no-one seems to be offering a solution! And trying to get through to the apple online support is a complete waste of time. They've been 'not available' for two days now. Christmas/New Year shutdown, I suppose. Thanks for all your help, though!

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

There is nothing you can do if there is no printer driver available.
You can check Gutenprint Supported Printers for a driver if they have one.
