Printing is Purple/Brown on paper when Red on computer screen

My OS is Windows 7 (64Bit) - Printer is Officejet Pro 8000 A809n. My problem is that during the last two days any red colouring shown on the computer screen is reproduced as a Purple/Brown colour on the printed page. The colour Management setting on the computer is Name: NEC MultiSync EA261wm - File name: ea261wm7.icm
I'm unable to ascertain the colour settings for the printer. If anybody has experienced similar mismatch problems and can offer a solution I would be grateful

I'm seeing this same problem happen on multiple platforms here in the office. Every time this happens, the screen view does not show these shapes. I have been seeing the same problem except linework will be missing in one of these square shapes as well. Please give feedback if anyone knows what causes this problem. One thing to note - these squares are the size and placement of a selection box within acrobat. For example, if i use the selection tool and click near where the problem printed out, the shaded area that gets selected is in the exact same spot and is the exact size.@

PLEASE HELP! - Printing Yellow on Brown Kraft Paper

Please, please help!! I am sooooo frustrated right now! For starters, I'm a bit beyond intermediate Photoshop user (10yrs of habitual use). I NEED to print yellow on brown kraft paper. There's no alternative. I have to or I'm going to have one VERY upset client. Really hoping someone out there can help me very soon or it's going to cost me lots of $$$ when I have to fake it and print the entire brown kraft-pattern background on white paper just to get the yellow to show (picture one, small yellow key on a full sheet of brown kraft paper)
Here's the skinny..... I obviously have chosen to have photoshop control the color management. The closest I have come is to use the printing profile: Japan Color 2002 Newspaper without black point compensation (I think I used Relative Compensation). The only way I can get the yellow to show on the brown is to actually PRINT a brown paper background ON TOP of the brown colored paper. Obviously, this is causing the brown paper to look quite dark. The yellow is perfect and I've now lost every other color (Navy & 3 shades of Gray). They're all dull against the multi-layered brown. I have tried manipulating the yellow to be more green or more orange and sure enough, they turn out looking green or orange. Should I switch to CMYK instead of RGB? If orange is a variation of brown, why does orange show up on brown so much easier than yellow?
Is there a way to manipulate the newspaper profiles to adjust for browner paper rather than grayer paper?
I am sooo close but I literally cannot figure this out!! Please tell me there's a color profile combination I'm not aware of..... and please don't tell me that printing yellow on brown is impossible After all, we're photoshop users. It's possible; just have to figure out how.
Sincerely, One Desperate Designer

You may ask your printer whether he can use opaque yellow ink:

Standard offset ink is transparent. The reflected light is always darker than the substrate.

Hp1300 all in one printer - no ink coming onto paper when I print!

I have been using our HP1300 All in One Inkjet printer for many years. Now when I 'print' no ink comes out onto the page! The printer behaves completely normally and 'prints' the correct number of pages etc. but no ink comes out! I have changed the cartridges but to no avail. Could anyone suggest what the problem might be please?
Thanks

Printer wants me to load paper when there's plenty already there

I have an Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. Every now and then it hangs up on a print job, telling me I need to load paper in the tray even though there's lots of paper already there. I have only one tray, but apparently some of these printers have the capacity for two. Maybe that's a part of the problem? I've tried everything I can think of. By the way, is there some way to send an email to HP describing the problem, or are we on our own as customers? Anyway, I'd appreciate advice if anyone has any. Thanks.

In addition the type of paper you are using can affect how well the printer picks it up. Recycled paper, while great for the environment doesn’t always pick correctly in printers. If you are using recycled paper try regular paper instead.

When opening my computer screen to certain angle, computer goes back to sleep. Help.

Hello. My computer started having two problems recently.
1. I feel like it overheats (fan is running) after not much use
2. I'll open the Macbook screen after it's been asleep and if I put the screen at certain angles, it'll go back to sleep.

Many companies offer Ram that is compatible, but they are considered cheaper ram and in truth they are not really compatible.
Those that are known to be for sure and are a little more expensive but there history shows they are excellent.

Hp 2540 says it need more paper when it don't

Hp 2540 printer says it needs more paper when it dont

Hello Vincento,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that your 2540 will not print, stating it needs paper even though the tray is loaded with paper. I have a few more questions to better assist you.
What is the device you are printing from, computer (if so, what Operating System, Windows or Mac), Apple phone or tablet, Android phone or tablet, etc?
What are you trying to print, photo, web page, email, document, etc?
What type of paper is loaded in the printer?
In the mean time, try cleaning the rollers in the printer.

Hi -
I can't tell from your post which specific jam you are experiencing.
I found the following on the HP.com support web site at
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01450544&jumpi...
On this page are a lot of possible jam causes and solutions. This one is a description I think sounds similar to your report.
Common causes of jams
Cause: When printing on lightweight paper or on jobs with heavy toner coverage, paper is wrapping on the fuser causing Fuser Delay Jam or Fuser Wrap Jam messages.
Solution: Set the LIGHT MEDIA optimize mode on the Print Quality menu to ON .

Printed image is half black and half red on A4 paper

I printed an image using Windows's default printer program.
The black photo ink cartridge is very low and the text one is around half.
I printed the image onto A4 paper in landscape. The image takes up most of the page.
The last half to be printed looks red.
Which cartridge prints images onto A4 paper?

Hey there @KyleGriffiths , Welcome back to the forums!
The printer will use a combination of all of the ink cartridges to print, to best answer your question. I posted a link below for you to check out as well, which is all about how ink is used. You can certainly try troubleshooting "Print Quality" issues for the type of concern you have, which should let you know if the ink cartridge(s) or printhead is to blame for the quality issue. Try the troubleshooting guide below to find out.

Have C4795 Photosmart printer. When printing 4X6 photos , the print starts halfway across the paper

When printing 4 X 6 photos on C4795, printing starts halfway across the paper, leaving
a half-page of blank. How do I realign to correct this?
Thanks, John

Binary Zen - thanks for your reply. I'm using iPhoto on a brand new iMac. Just upgraded from an iMac G5 that I've been using
for 6 years. So, new software. Also new printer, to me, just set up on wireless network. I had successfully printed photos on this printer using my old iMac, but the new iPhoto software is different, and doesn't seem to give me some of the print options I'm used to, such as selecting 'draft' for quick and dirty printing, etc.
One interesting note: I reread the printer manual, which said to slide the left slider against the paper. That moved the start point on the print to about 1" in from the leading edge instead of half-way across the page. Now all I have to do is figure out how to move it over another inch. I'm starting the photo paper exactly on the marks on the paper tray.
Suggestions welcome! Thanks, John

Printer says to load paper when I have paper in paper tray

My HP officejet J6480 all in one printer keeps saying I'm out of paper when I try to print, but I have paper in the paper tray and have been printing for quite awhile with this printer before. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling driver, HP diagnostic tool, HP update, and turning printer off and on. The paper isn't crinkled, so I don't know whats wrong with it.
