Laserjet 2605dn color printing problem, Blue/green line on page.

I have an HP color laserjet 2605dn that has started to print a faint,thin blue/green line from top to bottom about 3 inches in from the entire right edge of every page. I ran the cleaning cycle with no change. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

I have very similar problem on my 2600n which is printing 2 vertical green lines very close together about 1.5 inches from left edge. All toners are in supply override mode with black toner reading: Estimated Pages Remaining 0
Color cartridges contain toner with 329 pp remaining according to supply status page.
Is this problem likely to disappear when toner cartridge(s) are replaced?

HP C5280 all-in-one printer will not print yellow

I tried cartridge replacement. Update driver, and clean head. Nothing works. I had this printer in a box for three years without using. Now It will not print yellow or green.

Happy Monday edam. Green is actually the result of two or more color mixed together. Lets try printing a self test report:
Make sure the All-in-One is on and loaded with unused, plain, white paper.
Press Setup . The Setup Menu appears.
Press the down arrow button to select Tools , and then press OK .
Select Self-test Report , and press OK . The self-test report prints.
Let me know the results of the self test. Are all the colors present on the self test or are you missing specific colors?
Thanks!

Colors printing blue instead of yellow, red and brown

Red yellow and brown colors in a flower, print as shades of blue in PSE 7. Violet colors print as pink. Green prints as green. The colors print more accurately in photoshop album starter than PSE 7 so I don't think it's my HP laserjet 2605 printer setting. Thanks for any suggestions.

Probably a color profile issue. This link might be of help -http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Colors_are_wrong

HP Color LaserJet CP1215 - Color printing - Page prints yellow background

Good morning --- I don't believe I have posted to this forum before, so I hope someone can help me solve this issue.
My CP1215 color LaserJet -
printing pref set to color-
printing a document with colored icons, etc. or color photograph
Results: the "background" or what should be the white area, is yellow - bright yellow.
If I switch printing pref to B/W, I get a black/white document or photo. Of course, no color.
I have replaced the yellow toner cartridge (HP product) TWICE, the second one just this morning.
There are NO error messages.
Tried running the cleaning tool; disconnect/reconnect, etc. No luck.
I gave up trying to solve this issue 2 years ago, and have kept the pref set to black/white with no tech issues.
Now, however, I have the need to print in color, and I would really like to figure out how to correct this problem.
This printer is a monster - ~30 lbs or more, and I would rather not have to haul it to a computer shop or ship it.
If anyone out there has had this problem, please let me know how/if you were able to resolve it. Many thanks.

Hi Threecats
I understand when you print in color you are getting a yellow background.
I have included a document for troubleshooting the all yellow background printing.
Print out a configuration page from Solution eight first. This document will provide steps for cleaning and calibrating the printer. The Print quality troubleshooting page will identify the print cartridge that is causing the issue.
Let me know the results when you compare it to the one in the document and if the background printed yellow again. Also the Print quality troubleshooting page results.
What kind of paper are you using?

My Tri color cartridge 75 suddenly stopped printing yellow

Hi! I have an HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One, it has always worked fine. I bought new cartridges bot color and black and worked well for approximately 1 month. I just printed approximately 10 pages and the yellow color stopped appearing. I already tried to clean the cartridges with no difference. Yellow just wont appear and both printer and computer say the cartridge is full enough (which I think it's accurate since I haven't print that much anyway). Please help!

Welcome to the forums @Jessica_N
I read your post about your Photosmart C5580 no longer printing yellow and wanted to reach out to share my suggestions with you. I would suggest trying the guide I have posted for you below for starters, and if you have tried replacing the yellow cartridge already, call HP's Technical Support directly to see about your printer options!

HP OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink.

My OfficeJet Pro L7590 suddenly won't print yellow ink. The cartridge isn't empty. It still prints everything else. Things that require yellow ink come out a different color (ie: green comes out blue). I've cleaned the printheads several times from the "tools" menu and the report says the printheads are in "good" condition. I've also tried soaking the printheads in hot water for 5 min like was mentioned on here. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi - you've worked through all the steps in the support document here? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01957673&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc...
If you have, and still see bad red and green blocks on the PQ Diagnostic page (as described in the document), you may have to replace the black/yellow printhead (even if the printhead health is reported as 'good'). You can check your warranty on that printhead here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&docname=c00206040

Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Wireless suddenly won't print yellow; no error messages

Is it possible that a printhead needs to be replaced even when Diagnostics Pages all say "Printhead health: Good"? I don't have any error messages. There are no obvious white lines through the colored blocks on test pages. In a couple of blocks on some test pages, there is one, very fine, barely visible line, but it's not the same on all pages. (Today I've printed about a dozen test pages of three different kinds that have colored blocks on them, and there are no white lines like the ones shown in examples of bad test results.) I have used the tool for cleaning the printheads many, many times today and have cleaned at all of the levels. The ink level in the yellow cartridge is fine, and it's been working well until yesterday and today.
The printing of the five colored blocks on test pages is good, bright, and clear. The only problem is that the block which is supposed to be a light orange color is only pink, and the block that is supposed to be green is only blue: they are lacking yellow ink.
I haven't had any problems with the paper I've bought at Staples for six years (I also bought my printer at Staples ). The printer is six years old but has not been used hard. I use it regularly for a page or two a few times a week, so the printer isn't sitting idle for weeks at a time.
I read something in "help" information about using a straight pin to gently remove excess adhesive from the nozzle of a new ink cartridge, which didn't apply to my cartridge, but I decided to experiment anyway by pushing a pin through the nozzle of the partially-used, yellow ink cartridge, The test page I printed after that is the page with just four colored blocks on it rather than the five blocks on a different test page. This is the only time in two days that the yellow ink has printed. However, it printed in a wide horizontal band a little streaked with gray in the middle of the block. Then there are fairly wide white bands (no ink) both above and below the wide yellow/gray streaked band in the middle, and there are very narrow, yellow, horizontal strips printed along the very top edge and the very bottom edge of the block. In other words, the sequence of horizontal printing in this block only is: narrow yellow strip, wide white band, very wide yellow/gray streaked band, wide white band, and narrow yellow strip.
It seems this might mean that some yellow ink actually got through after I'd poked the pin into the center of the nozzle of the partially-used ink cartridge? However, when I tried printing the same test page again, there was no color, no ink showing at all where the partially-printed, yellow block had been on the previous test page. There was only a totally blank, white space where the yellow test block was supposed to be. The blue block, the red/pink block, and the black/gray block all printed well.
When nothing solved the problem of yellow ink not printing, I replaced the partially-used, yellow cartridge with a new yellow cartridge, but that didn't make a difference either: the yellow ink is still not printing. Yes, I use genuine HP ink cartridges. I buy new ones whenever I need them -- never refill them or use any other brand but HP.
I used the alignment tool once to fix some slight wavering in the lines on a test page. The lines are now perfectly straight.
I apologize for being so wordy, but I wanted to send all of the details that might help diagnose the problem. I read other questions and answers in the forum about yellow ink not printing, but while there were some similiarities, none of them was 100% exactly like my experience with the problem. What shall I try now? Thank you for any suggestions.

Good day.
Can try the steps in this document?

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:
https://www.google.de/search?hl=de&as_q=&as_epq=opaque+yellow+ink&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as _nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights=
Standard offset ink is transparent. The reflected light is always darker than the substrate.

MFP M476dw poor color print quality with streaking

I bought this printer in January and only printed half a dozen or so color prints, but always has color streaks. I have printed may 200 B&W pages and they seem OK. I ran the calibration I found in the operator interface, but doesn't make any difference. See attached original image and scan of the color print. Yes the scan looks just like the color print. Color cartridges all show 80% full. B&W cartridge is 70%. scan of color print Original ImageWhat can I do to improve this? I really was expecting better color print quality.

I am experiencing horrible print quality with this printer. Colors are way off what they appear on the screen - reds appear yellow, browns appear blue / green. The printer has new HP ink cartridges, both basic and advanced inkjet cartridge cleaning processes have been run and the inkjet alignment process has been run. What can be done to correct this problem?

OSX Print in Black and White on an HP Color printer?

I have an HP8500 Color printer connected to OSX 10.8.3 through a JetDirect port. The OSX Driver for the HP8500 does not have the option to print in color or B&W that the windows driver has. As a consequence, even when printing in B&W from a PPT deck, the driver prints using all four color toners to produce a black and white output that looks like it has a hint of purple in it. Is there a different driver I could use that has the option to select black or color output? As it is I'm buring through very expensive color toner for balck and white docs.

The Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter has the same print mechanism as its All-in-One counterpart the Officejet Pro 8600. This printer has a printhead mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).
One will have to replace the cartridge, if the unit provides a message of one of the colors being empty, before the unit will resume printing. It is a maintenance mechanism to prevent the product from self-damage. Hope this helps.
