HP Envy 5530-won't print in color in iPhoto

I'm not sure if anybody is having this same problem but iPhoto 9.5.1 won't let me print in color on my new HP Envy 5530. It's brand new and I have color ink in it, but I'm only shown and option to print in black and white. Has anybody run into this problem?
Thanks

Have you checked the HP website to see if you have the latest printer drivers for your model?

HP Envy 5530 won't print in color from Mac

My printer won't print anything in color from my Mac. I've tried printing from Word and from a PDF, and each time only black ink will show up. I've tried:Removing the black ink catridge and printing with just colorShaking the color ink cartridgeRemoving and putting back the color ink cartridgePrinting a test page (color doesn't work for this, either- nothing prints at all when I do this)Double and triple checking my print settings The only ink color that my computer says is "low" is yellow. I'm printing wirelessly, but because black ink prints fine, I'm willing to bet there's no connection problems. DO NOT try to sell me more ink; I am already upset with HP enough as it is. The last thing I want to do right now is buy more of its ineffective products. Please help me fix this problem.
Thank yoooouuuuu

HP Envy 5530 won't print wirelessly

I have a laptop, mobile and desktop at my house. When I first bought my printer, it connected through my wireless BT hub fine. The password worked and it printed from my mobile as well. Then I tried printing a month later. It would not work, despite saying it was connected. My other computer Windows 7 computer and I have a Windows 7 laptop. We also missed out on a InstantInk black cartridge. It still is recognised by the desktop computer. It just won't print on command. We had to buy a USB cable for the laptop. That will work. I bought this printer to make it easy for all of our devices to print. I don't understand why it started working, then suddenly stopped. We ran diagnostics and also phoned the HP helpline. No one could help us. Please let us know what is wrong as we haven't changed any wireless settings. The hub remains the same and our other devices in our home can use the internet. I will have to return this printer if it doesn't work soon. I bought it in November.

Hello , Welcome to the HP forum. I understand that you are having a network communications issue with your Envy 5530. I would like to help. I am surprised that the HP technical support people could not get this fixed for you.Could I have a list of any trouble shooting steps you have already done? Have you restored the network defaults on the printer and ran the wireless setup wizard again?Have you turned the hub off then on again? Try going through this document and let me know if it helps.Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection

New HP envy 5530 won't print from my computer

I just installed my HP envy 5530 through a wireless connection. It will not print anything from my computer. It shows it is printing but then the printer doesn't do anything. I can print from my andriod phone though. I have tried using the HP print and scan doctor. It says everything is fine. When I try to print a test page it doens't do anything- it will print an internal test page though. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software (I also removed all old HP software)- that didn't help. I also tried turning off my firewalls- also didn't help. Not sure what else to do.
I have windows 8.1 and an acer computer. I have had wireless printers before (HP) and never had a problem.
Thanks for your help.

Hi usmc_roque,
Thank you for your reply.
I would suggest the following:
- Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
- Remove USB cable.
- Reboot PC.
- Download and re-install the software. HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers . click the next button next to the Operating System type. (Make sure to choose Windows XP), scroll down, and click on Driver - Product Installation Software (1), then click on the blue download button next to HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers to download the driver.
Try this as the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows, is only compatible with Windows 7, and up to Windows 8.1.
Hi dwneylonsr,
Thank you for your response.
I would suggest to power off the PC, then the printer. Unplug the power to your router for 30 seconds, plug the router back in. Then turn back on the printer, then the PC. After that try to Uninstall the Printer Software, and re-install again. HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this information helps, and have a good day.

Envy 5530 won't print or scan

Out of the blue I am unable to print via usb or wirelessly. I have tried the "Doctor" which keeps saying I do not have the "full" software and/or driver package. I have uninstalled/reinstalled what seems like 67 times. I have tried numerous fixes from the forum, all with no results. (Clean boot - DL software/drivers for Envy 5531, etc) My printer has wireless set up, but no computer found. I'm just going around & around with no solution in sight. If I'm seem frustrated, I am after spending 3-4 hours to get a document scanned (or even printed) that is necessary for medical reasons. Since I can't use it as a door stop or paperweight, ready to toss into dumpster. Printing should't be this hard!Thank you for letting me vent. Any help would be much, much appreciated.

Thank you for getting back to me @rjrabbit!
If the printer is having troubles performing a photo copy then you are likely looking at a hardware or power issue and not a software issue. To ensure the printer is still receiving full power it is recommend to plug the power into the wall directly and not a power surge protector. It may sounds silly but is a good way to ensure power is not a factor and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting.
If you find your still getting the copy and scan issue when the printer is into a direct power source I suggest checking the firmware version on the printer. I was able to locate a firmware update for the ENVY 5530 on the HP web site. You will want to check the firmware version on the printer first.
To check the current firmware version on printer, you can print a status report.
To print a status report:
Press the Setup (wrench) icon at the top of the printer touch screen
Press Tools
Press Print Status Report
Once you locate the firmware version on the printer Status Report check to see if it matches Version ORL1CN1418AR. If not, then I recommend following this link to HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer series Firmware Update. Download and run the Firmware update. Its recommended (if you have one) to have the printer plugged in USB when running a firmware update.
Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums! I hope this helps and please post back and let me know how it goes.

Hp envy 5530 won't print

I recently purchased a HP Envy 5530 printer. After setting it up, it would not print. I am using the USB cable, but also tried the wirless, and neither works.
I have a HP Pavilion dv9500 laptop. It is running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack1 and is the 32 bit operating system.
The printer reads as installed. It is indicated as the selected printer and that it is online. When I try to print from any application, I get the little printer incon, but it shows 0 documents in the queue. The printer box which pops up from the application shows that the printer is selected but idle.
I have made sure I have all the Widows and HP updates. I have run the printer diagnostic, the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and Troubleshoot HP Instalation Failure - MSI following all the steps recommended. None of these resolve the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.

I've tried all the suggestions, and have had no success.
My brother sucessfully hooked up the printer to his computer, and it worked well. The problem does not reside within the printer. It is something with my computer software.

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.

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.

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?

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. ;-)

Fourteen views and no answers in two-and-a-half days!!
I guess it's time for me to change printer brands. It will be a long time before I get an HP anything again!

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.
