Color Printing

I have a Photosmart 7280 and when I print on HP Photo paper the red color is very heavy, but on regular copy paper the color is accurate. I have downloaded all the updated drivers and replaced all the inks with in date ones. I have printed from Microsoft Paint and Kodak EasyShare and get the same results. I also have changed the paper with new packs.
Could someone please help me?

Hey @DS10,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum.
I understand you're unable to print in colour with your HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you with this. I have some suggestions that may resolve this issue.
Are you printing from a Mac, PC, smart-phone or tablet?
What version of operating system are you working with?
This type of issue can either be software or hardware related, or a combination of the two. The first thing I recommend you try is to make a colour copy from your printer's front panel. Did the printer print in colour from standalone successfully?
If yes, we can assume that your issue is software related. In which case, please respond to this post with more information about your setup and I'll be happy to provide the steps you need to correct your software setup.
If no, click here for steps on how to troubleshoot print quality via hardware.
Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. Thanks for posting in the HP Support Forum and have a great day!

HT3669 I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

Check the printer itself. Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac. If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one.

I am using Aperture 3 to edit RAW and JPEG photo images on my Macbook. I am having color printing issues with my Canon MP640 Pixma color printer. The image I see on my macbook is not reciprocated in printing from my printer?

My issue is that I am not getting print quality compared to the image I see on my screen. Just recently it has been very wishie washie. My printer is supposed to be excellent for producing color prints
I have contacted Canon support but they told me that the signals that are sent to the printer originate from an Apple product, therefore, it is an Apple mac problem not there's. I am wondering if my on screen proofing and/or printing profiles are correctly set. I notice that in 'print profiles' there are nine different options for printing from my particular printer. How confusing is that?
I have also found that when I choose a high standard print option my photo print comes out very red.
Can some kind person please help me? I don't seem to be getting any help from anyone else! Thanks in anticipation.

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:

HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451dn won't print

My HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451dn stopped printing after a short usage of non hp toner. How do I get this printer to accept these toner cartridge ? My 3600dn never has a problem

If you are using non-HP toner cartridges, then I would say that the onus is on the supplier of these to resolve the problem.
Or to accept that these cartridges aren't quite as compatible as they've no doubt been advertised to be.

HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer M451dn Driver needed

I need to install an HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer. When I plug in the USB - it provides a driver which I can open and get to the install process - The process takes me to the point of plugging in the USB and starts to install.
After 10 minutes and getting to 99% complete the install stops because it is taking to long.
I have searched for the driver on the web site but when I click on the printer name - the HP web site goes into an
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Need help with installing this printer - this printer is only available to me by USB

Getting Darker Blacks from My HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer

Hi. I own an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer and am on a Windows XP system. For regular printing, it works great. However, for some graphic work I am doing, I can not get the blacks to print out dark enough. I can not find any settings on the print properties panel that would allow me to set a darker black coverage. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey,
I see you are having an issue with Air Print on your CP1525nw Color Laserjet Pro. Have you tried a full network power cycle?
Unplug the router and printer while on
Power down the iOS device completely. Check out the following link for how: http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/qt/turn_off_iphone.htm
Wait 30 seconds
Power the router up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the printer up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the iOS device back up
It sounds like the network most likely lost communication with the bonjour service of the printer.
If you need to update the firmware of the CP1525nw please click the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-86473-9&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Let me know how it goes.

LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 walk up usb printing

We have a few LaserJet Enterprise 500 color Printer M551 that we use with walk up usb printing.
the problem is that somtimes when a document is saved directly on the usb drive you get two files called "documentname.pdf" and "._documentname.pdf", now the hidden file is normaly a few kb in size and no problem exept it shows up as the first documents on the printer and this makes the printer spew out random characters,
is there a way to make the printer not show hidden files?

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.
Susan - Threecats

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?

HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer with Apple iPad & iPhones

I have an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer that I've successfully used as an "air print" device to print from both iPhones and iPads. For some unknown reason, I can't print from iPhones and iPads anymore. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Is this a result of Apple most recent iOS upgrades? Everything was working with iOS 6.0.x and seems to have stopped working with iOS 6.1.x.
I "think" I'm try to determine what I need to upgrade (printer firmware or iOS device firmware . . . or both).
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to restrict color printing on my laserjet 4700dn for my network

Here is my issue. I am trying to restrict color printing on my Laserjet 4700dn for my network. I have configured it for "color if Allowed" and all works perfectly. I was then going to allow certain users to print in color so I started by configuring my username and allow color. Every time I print it is still in black and white. I then decided to look at the color usage log and what I found would explain why. The color usage log only shows the username of one user on my network. All other jobs just show the date and number of pages. So my issue is why can my printer not see all the other users and how do I configure it to do so. Also why would only that one user show in the log. It also does not show any applications but it does for that one user. Is there something else that needs to be installed on the computers for it work?

HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251n Color Printer driver for Window NT

Hi All,
Good day. I'm here to seek for help.
Currently i bought a HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251n Color Printer, but i want it to use at Window NT.
I need driver to run this printer at Window NT. Anyone can help and advice me? Thanks.

Hi,
The printer is not compatible with Windows NT, it is supported on Windows XP or later operating systems.
You might be able to get print capabilities through the network by using an alternative drivers:
Download and extract the drivers for the Laserjet 5550 below, which uses the same printing language:
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=406807&swItemId=lj_23425_2&swEnvOid=24
Ensure the printer is connected to the network, from the setup menu select Reports > Config Report and locate the IP address of the printer.
From the control panel add a printer, select a local printer and create a new Standard TCP/IP port by using the printer's IP address.
From the printers list select Have disk and browse to the Laserjet 5550 drivers.

Shlomi
