Computers on Leopard will not print in color with Okidata C7350 printer

Does anyone know if there is a solution to printing in color using the Okidata C7350 with Macs on Leopard? Our school has 60 MacBooks running 10.5.9 and several iMacs running 10.6.2. When printing color pictures to the Okidata C7350, we can only print in black and white. Previous Operating Systems still print in color.

I didn't see it mentioned yet: you may want to check if the new drivers have a setting to "restrict color". I haven't used that model of printer, but on most other color printers I've used, there's a setting for "disable color" or "grayscale only". For example, on my HP Color Laserjet 4005:
[http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z242/asatoran/HPRestrictColor.jpg|http://i19 0.photobucket.com/albums/z242/asatoran/HPRestrictColor.jpg]
This is sometimes a setting "per computer" and not necessarily "per printer". The default on the new drivers may have been changed to B&W only by Okidata for some reason.
Just a suggestion, anyway.

Macbook upgrade to Snow Leopard will not complete install stuck with reboot screen, turned on off numerous times same scree

I have a Macbook with the Leopard OS, up to date. I decided to install Snow Leopard. Everything went smoothly until the window came up requesting me to restart the laptop after the install. I have done this numerous times same window keeps coming up after restart. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
R A

Thank you Watts 300. I unfortunately cannot get the Mac to reboot. I have taken the SL disk out and reinserted a number of times, however the screen remains with the restart message. Crazy.I can power it off but the same restart message keeps appearing.

HP Laserjet 4100 will not print in Snow Leopard

Since I’ve installed Snow Leopard, I have not been able to print with my HP Laserjet 4100.
My set-up: new 24” iMac, many hard drives and more. Two devices: HP Color Laserjet 5550 and HP Officejet J5750 are connected to the iMac through a USB Hub. Although initially scanning did not work with the J5750, I was able to make that work once additional drivers were downloaded from HP. Both work fine.
I also have an older HP Laserjet 4100 which has been my steady workhorse for years. It only has Ethernet and serial port outlets. It is connected to an AT&T 2-Wired Ethernet Hub/DSL Modem (model 2701HG-B) that is connected to the iMac.
I’ve contacted HP and Apple about this problem. None of the three people I worked with at Apple could help and the HP representative was unsure if they could help but that it would cost me $40 to find out. According to HP website, since Apple Talk no longer exists, we are required to input the IP for the device. For the 4100, the IP address is 10.0.1.100. I tried this two ways: in the “Add Printer” window under “IP,” inputted as the IPP, and inputted as the HP Jetdirect Socket (as per the HP instructions). When this is done, the printer shows up when you give a print command. However, it does not show up in the “Add Printer” window under “default” or anywhere else.
Status: If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable directly to the back of the iMac, the “Supply” level indicates the true level of toner in the 4100. However, it will not print. If I connect the 4100 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub, the supply level does not show nor can I print.
Any suggestions?

Well, another week has gone by without a solution.
Again, here is the problem:
I have a 24" iMac connected to a USB hub and an AT&T 2-Wire DSL/ethernet hub. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and now the update 10.6.2, the two printers on the USB hub work fine but the HP Laserjet 4100dtn does not print. This old printer has only ethernet or serial ports. I've downloaded and installed the HP driver updates from Apple and HP to no avail. According to HP, I must add the 4100 manually using its IP. I've followed the instructions while adding a printer to select IP- HP Jetdirect - Socket. The address of the printer is 10.0.1.100. When I type this in, the window says that this is a valid and complete address. It searches and then says the "Print Using:" is a Generic PostScript Printer. The driver for this printer, I believe, should be "HP LaserJet 4100 Series v.3010.107" Regardless, when I click Add the window "Determining Installable Options" shows "Status: Connecting to printer..." It never establishes a connection.
The 2-Wire DSL/Ethernet Hub/Modem, has an IP of 192.1687.1.66, Submask 255.255.255.0 and Router (DNS) 192.168.1.254.
If I plug the ethernet cable directly from the printer to the iMac, the supply level shows correctly but will not print. If I plug the ethernet cable from the printer to the 2-Wire and then to the iMac, it neither shows supply level nor prints.
Any suggestion as to how to fix this problem? (I've been on the phone with 3 different Apple respresentatives and 1 HP representative with no success.)

MY printer will not print in color

My laptop and printer are only printing in black and white will not print in color. I have tried printing with a different laptop and it printed the pictures in color.
Can you please help !

Hi there @Aido2014 ,
Welcome to the Community!
I read your post about one of your computers will only print black and white, and not in color. I am writing you back to make my suggestion to you.
I would suggest trying these steps to hopefully get the color printing again: Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series
If everything appears to work fine from that guide, and you still cannot print in color, try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Please keep me posted with your results and I will help out some more if needed!
Have an awesome Friday!

HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color

My HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color. First it would not even print (has something to do with Google Chrome). I uninstalled the program and tried to reinstall the program but it will not complete the whole installation process. Says it has an error, took to long to run. But the Printer is in the DEVICE section, but not in the PROGRAMS on the Control Panel. When I go to print now, I press (Ctrl, Shift, P) and it will on print in Black no Color. If I go to print the normal why and select, I hit Print and then it ask to select a Printer and there is no Printer to select.

HP Envy 5660 Will Not Print in Color from Desktop

I have a new Envy 5660 e all in one printer. Prints in color from my I phone and I pad but will only print in black from desktop running OSX 10.6.8. No error messages just will not print color from my Mac.

Hello @zeitman , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having issues printing color. I would like to try and assist.
Due to system limitations, the printer requires a minimum of 10.7 to be installed. You can, however, download and install the Mac print software relating to HP. This should allow you to have functionality:
HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

HP ENVY 7640 Will Not Print In Color On A Mac

I purchased an HP Envy 7640,I'm running 10.6.8 on my Macbook pro, I can't install the driver for the printer on my computer because it says that it is not compatible. Nevertheless I am able to print, but it will not pint in color. Is there any solutions that I can try?There are no

Hi MrsLoghouse,
I would like to help you print from Word on your Mac. Because you can print from other programs, I trust the issue is not actually related to the HP Printer. Damaged documents or documents that contain damaged graphics or damaged fonts can cause print errors. Before you reinstall drivers or software, test the program's ability to print.
1. Open a new blank document in Word.
2. On the first line of the document, type the following text: =rand(10)
3. Press ENTER. This inserts 10 paragraphs of sample text.
4. Try to print the document.
5. If the document prints successfully, change to a different font, or insert clip art, a table, or a drawing object. How to troubleshoot print failures in Word for Mac, Excel for Mac or Powerpoint for Mac.
If the issue persists, I suggest you contact Microsoft, or reach out to the Microsoft Community.
I hope this is helpful.

GCC Elite XL 40 - Will Not Print in Snow Leopard

I am desperate I have wasted two days working with GCC tech support via phone and email and have followed their instructions for setting up my GCC Elite XL 40 as an IP printer for our MacPro running Mac OS 10.6.5. I have checked and double and triple checked the many settings on both the printer and my MacPro - ALL are correct (according to the instructions provided) but the printer will not Print. It is recognized by the computer — got a green light on my print queue — says its ready to print but nothing happens.
I have redone this so many times I - added, deleted and re-added the printer several times - I am just on the verge of giving up but I need this large format laser printer to work with this computer — it's our workhorse for big projects.
There was a Posting here from someone named Rocky dated a few months ago and that information conformed to what I have been instructed to do by GCC but it still does not work. All other Macs on our network are printing to the GCC Elite XL 40 just fine as usual. This is the only workstation we upgraded to Snow Leopard plus this computer is hard wired via Ethernet not Airport.
If there is anyone out there that has made this work please send me some info or direct me to an expert. Thank you.

Looking at the specifications for this printer it shows that the unit support Postscript Level 2, which indicates it's quite an old model. This could be causing problems with Snow Leopard.
The specs also show the printer supports PCL5e and PCL6. So did the GCC techs get you to try creating a printer queue using the Generic PCL Laser Printer? If not it would be worth a try. Make a new print queue using IP > LPD for the protocol, not sure if you need a queue name so leave this blank, and select Generic PCL Laser in the Print Using menu. This Generic driver gives you no options and probably no support for the larger paper sizes but it will let you see if you can get a print job from your Mac to the printer.

Quark 7.5 Will Not Print In Snow Leopard

I've been running my networked G5 (OS 10.4.11) for years with no problems using Quark, PhotoShop, Illustrator, etc. I recently bought a new iMac (OS 10.6.2) and migrated the G5 files to iMac. Worked through a few bugs and adjustments, however QuarkXpress documents will not print to my printers (Xerox Phaser 5400 and Lexmark C540). I can print simple Quark documents (text only), but as soon as I try any complex documents, the job spools to the Phaser and then is cancelled. On the Lexmark an error of "900 Firmware Error" appears. All other applications, ie, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and various other applications print fine to both printers. Obviously it's an issue with the Quark software, but I haven't been able to resolve. Any insights?

Yes, I can create PS or PDF files for print, but would prefer not to do a workaround. I would call Quark but I've seen their posts indicating they do not support QX7.5 in the Snow Leopard environment. Also I've seen other posts regarding QX printing problems and Quark advised upgrading to 8, which didn't seem to resolve most of the printing problems I've read about... thank you for the suggestion.

HP Photosmart Premium c 309g will not print black, all other colors fine. Shows ink levels fine,

Have photosmart premium c309 g connected wirelessly to I Mac and Mac book pro. The unit suddenly will not print black. Ink levels show all good. All other colors print fine. When check HP utility and go to print quality diagnostics, a box appears that states cannot print PQ page--make sure printer is turned on. If I tell it to print a page, it immediatly connects and prints all colors but not black. How can it print regular page but not receive message to print PQ page? "make sure printer is on" ??

I have this exact same problem with the same printer. Printer will not print black. My macbook pro is connecting to the printer but shoots out a blank page. I just put in a new ink cartridge even though it was not low on ink. Please help.

HP color laserjet CP2025 will not print. Help.

I have a HP color laserjet CP2025, but it will not print. I installed the driver HP Color LaserJet CP2020 Series PCL 6. I have a Windows Vista Home Premium. There is a message to replace the cyan cartridge, but I assume if the printer has black ink, then it'll print in black and white. Do I need to replace the cyan cartiridge for it to print? What other options can I try to troubleshoot?
Thank you.

Officejet 6100 - H611a Will not print in grayscale when color cartridge is depleted.

The title says it all. - Windows 7 64-bit
Officejet 6100 - H611a Will not print in grayscale when color cartridge is depleted!
Even though the documentation that came with the printer says it will. After 2+ hours on the phone with HP support over the course of 2 days, I have been informed that printer WILL NOT print in black ink only if a color cartridge is empty.
I thought anyone who purchases this model should know the documents included lie.
From page 31 of the Officejet 6100 user manual: "If a color cartridge is depleted, the printer will print in grayscale using the black cartridge." LIES!
The HP Help Programs says the same thing.
I have hard-reset the printer, removed and reinserted all the cartridges, set the options to "black ink only," Nothing worked. 3 HP reps all said the same thing, "You have to get a new magenta cartridge."
Will be retuning for a refund as I purchased this model SPECIFICALLY because the manual said it would print the grayscale without color ink present.
Have had 4 HP printers over the years, never even considered buying anything except HP. This will be my last HP printer. Extremely disappointed by HP's deception.

Sorry the printer did not perform as expected. I have escalated this in an effort to get this to the right people.

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now?

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now? It will print in color if the black is low but not if any color is low. This is very annoying. Printer is using HP cartridges too.

Get used to this with HP printers - its a new feature they have introduced to keep running costs lows - works well. Had two HP printers same happened with both of these. Suggest a different brand - they might not have this special feature
