Officejet 6500A Plus not printing in colour in Mavericks

Hi
I have an Officejet 6500A Plus that is currently not printing in colour. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.3. The printer used to print colour when I had a wireless connection but this was very temparamental connecting and got worse when Mavericks appeared so I decided to use a USB connection. To do this I had to uninstall all the HP software and then reinstall the printer as a USB printer. Everything works fine scanning and printing, but it will not print in colour. The HP help says to make sure Apple Software is up to date which it is and everything should work, but it doesn't. I'm unable to install the HP software that orginally came on disk as it wont work with Mavericks and there doesn't seem to be any useful help from HP - will this ever work again?
Jeremy

Welcome to the HP Forums Jezza1505,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print in color on the Maverick since uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers. I can help you with this issue.
I checked online and the drivers for Maverick are from the Apple Updates.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the name.
If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing a document in color again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Thank you for the information.
How old are your cartridges? And how long is it since the last use?
- Try read through this document.

There is a few steps that I would recommend to read through and try. They will most likely solve the print quality issue.

Black Ink wont print on HP Photosmart Plus B210a Product CN216A

My black ink wont print on the printer stated above. I have changed it twice in the past 3 days, still wont work. I then ran a print quality report, cleaned printheads, aligned cartridges, ran all the tests. Nothing will work. The color ink will print, but nothing black will. On the print quality report, the black ink wont show. The printer displays the black ink, so installation of the cartridge must have been correct. Is the black ink cartridge or slot broken. I'm not a tech savvy person so I dont know the term for that thing. Please help, and let me know if I should just get a new printer. Thanks

Since you have automatically cleaned the printhead, and aligned the cartridges I would try a manual cleaning of the printhead to make sure that ink buildup is not the issue. Solution three on this document shows how to remove and clean the printhead manually. I know that this document is not titled with your ink issue, but it is the best at outlining the steps needed to do that cleaning on the printhead. Open that first drop down menu option titled “0xc1900013 or no code displays with the Ink System Failure error message” and follow those steps listed under solution three. While you have that printhead out and are cleaning the contacts, take note of the warranty ends date listed there. If there is still an issue, write back and let me and provide that date off the printhead too.

Printing in colour on hp 14

I bought an HP Chromebook 14 for myself in Dec '14. I have a HP printer that has the ePrint function but it won't print in colour.
I have seen a previous post with a similar issue. The fix was to click on 'print using google cloud print dialogue' at the bottom left when the print window opened. This is ridiculous as it's not like I'm using my system dialogue because that already is google cloud print. It makes zero sense why there are two pathways to print via the same dialogue. Despite my ideas about this, I did try it.
I have done this and it has allowed me to print in colour. However, the option via this pathway of printing in landscape no longer exists. I reached a point where I could print portrait in colour but not landscape. I could print landscape using the original print window because the option was there but even though I had selected colour it would be in black and white. The 'print using google cloud print dialogue' is clearly the default setting. So, when I print using the print window and select landscape and in colour, the 'print using google cloud print dialogue' overrides to black and white but does not change the orientation because that option doesn't exist. Hence allowing me to print in landscape.
I believe I have an understanding as to why the above happens (but it shouldn't) but I do not know how to get around it.
However, from about 2 weeks ago, the 'print using google cloud print dialogue' button has dissappeared. Now I can only print in black and white, period.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me sort this out. I would eventually like to be able to print in colour for both portrait and landscape.
Thank you.

Hi @elisafalconer
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are unable to print in color from your HP Chromebook to your HP printer.
I have included a link to the Google Forums to a thread titled HP printer won’t print color using HP Chromebox. I don’t know if you have the same printer as mentioned in the thread, but there are some valid trouble shooting steps to try.

Hp deskjet 990c not printing in colour

Hello
I recently made the switch to a MacBook, however my hp deskjet 990c is now not printing in colour! Additionally, I can't seem to find how to enable double sided printing.
Can anyone help me please?!
I've attached an image on what happens when I click on print.
Many thanks.

Hi Alia26,
I understand that you cannot print in color or do duplex printing now. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. Could you please try printing from another program to see if you have the choice to print in color and duplex.
I suggest that we start with power cycling the network.
How to power cycle network
Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
1.Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
2.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
3.Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
4.Turn off the computer.
5.Wait 30 seconds.
6.Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
7.Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
8.Turn the computer back on.
9.Wait for the computer to reload.
10.Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
11.Turn the printer back on.
In the User Guide on page 24 it explains the setup for Manual Two-Sided Printing
User Guide LINK: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpd08297.pdf
Here is a document for Installing and Using the Printer, you did not mention what your operating system is on the Macbook but this document's steps are the same for Mavericks.

ABAP list report wont print on Z device type with Z format

Our developer have created a report which outputs data in ABAP list format and the standard format would not fit. We have since created a custom format and copied a device type in to custom device type. So we now have a custom format and custom device type. However when we print, it spools correctly and shows as green but the report wont print. The only thing that gets printed is
"Sort criteria AscdgDescndSubtotalGRAND TOTAL : X X PROJ" "
The abap list format is Z_100_500. Basically the report has 450 columns and hence we created this format.
I am not sure what this means. I have been advised by SAP to follow instruction on note 17895 - Adapting print list formats for customers however i cant fully comprehend point 5 of the note and I believe this is why it wont print. Has anyone adapted ABAP list using this note. Can you please let me know how i should go about printer initialisation mentioned in the noted.
We have checked everything however dont seem to get around the issue. Any ideas will be appreciated

My HP printer will no longer print in colour

After upgrading to the latest OS my HP printer will not print in colour for me. I thought at first it was the printer error, but then I realised it still prints in colour for my husband's Dell. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer; updating the printer driver; looked and looked at the settings to try to find a colour setting in case I've somehow got it set to b&w - but I still can't get any colour print. Any ideas?

It is quite a while since I've used an HP printer, MillyJ, but immediately under the "orientation" selection in the standard print dialogue is there a drop down box which provides a variety of choices including "Quality and Media"? If so, select it and make sure that "Grey Scale Printing" is not enabled. If not look through any other options offered. Strangely, the option for grey scale or black and white printing doesn't appear under the "Color" settings with quite a few printers.
You might also want to have a look at http://ostatic.com/question/mac-leopard-printing-in-black-and-white and see if using the instructions there provide any clues to resolving the issue (essentially in reverse, as this person was actually trying to print in B&W and having trouble)

HP 1300 wont print from Remote Desktop applications

I have an HP 1300n attached via USB to a windows 7 computer. I log onto a clien'ts windows 2003 server using remote desktop application. I have installed the driver to HP 1300 PCL 5 on the remote server and of course it's installed on the windows 7 machine. I can see the HP via port TSXxx on the remote server but when printing, nothing happens. The document is sent to the "printer" but doesnt print in my office. I've tried many solutions and nothing so far works. I have 3 other windows 7 computers and 3 others HP 1300 and all are experiencing the same thing.

HP 2575 will NOT print in Colour

Hello,
I have an HP 2575 All-in-One printer,originally it printed OK,but,it was printing more in colour than black/white,even any text,somehow,I played in the setup and managed to print ONLY in black/white,now,I can't print anything in colour,I've replaced the colour cartridge #95 with a new one,with no luck,I've also replaced # 98 (black/white) cartridge with # 99 as per manual to get more colour,unfortunately after the money I spent on the cartridges,still unable to print in colour.
The printer works well for scanning/copying/printing and etc.but,all in black,does anyone know if there's a software/hardware switch to turn the colours back on?? can someone HELP please,I would hate to throw this printer out and ending up buying a new one.
Thanks to All
Regards

The most likely cause for no color at all would be the #95 cartridge. The printheads are built in to the cartridge, replacing the cartridge would replace the printheads. One thing to try would be to gently blot the printhead on a damp tissue. A light smear of color or no color at all would indicate an issue. A working cartridge would show a strong blot of cyan, magenta and yellow. Are there any indications of color at all on the page? It is also possible (but less likely) that there is an electrical issue in the drive electronics. Even a tiny bit of color would indicate the electronics are likely OK.

Hp laserjet pro p1606dm with yosemite with usb wont print but printed on a network

hp laserjet pro p1606dm with Mac Yosemite using a USB wont print. Printed however when used on a network. Downloaded a driver again, though driver already installed. Driver was a dmg file and wouldn't open. Forum told me to use Safari to open a dmg file but that didn't work. Help! Want to use the printer at home that I was using at the office.

Hi @soneighbor ,
I understand that you are having issues printing from a USB connection, but you were able to print by a Wired Network connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
The drivers for 10.8 are installed by the Apple Updates.
Once the printer is connected by a USB cable directly to the Mac, you should be able to just run the Apple Updates to install the drivers automatically. Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update.
Delete any of the older drivers first.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet P1606dn)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing again.
If you run into any issue, please do the following:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you are still having any issues, download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Laserjet 200 won't print in colour

I have had the printer for just over a year and it has worked perfectly.
I have just replace three of the cartridges as they had run out and it will not only print in back and white (or 50 shade of grey).
All the cartridges are full and I can't work out how to get it to print in colour again.
Any help very much appreciated.
David

Hi @DavidRhodes ,
I see that you are having issues printing in color after replacing 3 toners. I would like to help you.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
On the printer, go to Setup, Reports Menu, Supplies Status or Demo Page.
Did the self tests print in color?
If it is a hardware issue, please try the steps in this document. Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
If the issue is software related, please try the following steps:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 wireless wont print with iPhone 5s

This printer billed as Wireless that I purchased in 2011 wont print with IPhone or iPad because it is not on list of Air Print devices So I was told by HP to buy a new one and since it wasnt equipped with HP's "eprint" the app thats out there to make up for this will not work. I was speaking to sales person to avoid paying but I cant believe this. There are better printers but that doesnt make this a throw away. and who wants to buy a wireless printer that wont print wirelessly? Help!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi there Hank,
Sorry to hear you're having a rough go with the printer.
As for the 8000 wireless, I would guess that you got a newbie tech rep on the phone. I couldn't figure out why they said there's no workaround, because I had been able to get older printers going with HP troubleshooting documents. So here are a few that might help:
1. Install the printer on your network (if it isn't already) Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection
2. Download the HP E-Print Mobile App for iOS. It should still work with non- eprint printers: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/hp-eprint/id299531647?mt=8
3. Take a glance at this tutorial video, for some quick tips on getting started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1z1pSC8WHI

I know nothing about your printer. However, to use it properly you must Add the printer in Print & Scan preferences.
See OS X Mavericks- Set up a printer. Also, consult the printer's user manual. With the proper setup the printer should print color or b/w automatically. If you have further problems you need to start with the printer HP's tech support.
