HP CS5550 yellow ink comes out too green

I replaced my color cartridge 75XL (I use 74XL for black) recently and noticed from the test print, the yellow has a greenish tint to it. I usually print watercolor artwork on slightly textured paper and now cannot capture the same colors as in my Photoshop screen. I also recently tried a photo print (green trees) on lustre photo paper and it came out great. Not sure if the change in paper/subject photo has an effect. Printheads were cleaned too.

Hi @hphana
Although the following document is titled Faded or Dull Colors in Printouts, the solutions offered will likely help. If the issue persists, I suggest calling us. Don't hesitate to call, although the printer may be out of warranty, the cartridges could be in warranty; therefore, there wouldn't likely be a fee for the phone support. We will, at our option, either replace products under warranty that prove to be defective or refund the purchase price.
We could even determine after troubleshooting that it is a problem with the printer, in which case they may offer you a discount on a newer model.
The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
To find the “Warranty Ends” date, look in the following table for the date's location on each product. The date follows the YYYY/MM/DD or YYYY/MM format, where YYYY indicates the year, MM indicates the month, and DD indicates the day.
I hope this helps.

Hi there,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP 8500 will print but no ink comes out, and I am happy to help you!
I am also glad that you had already put new ink in, and cleaned the printheads.
For further assistance, I will need to know your printer's Product/Model number. As there are multiple HP 8500 printers. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
Hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for posting!

Inks running out too fast

I have a HP photosmart premium C309a It is less than 12 months old. I have replaced all the cartridges again about 1 week ago (which was too soon in my book), I have printed about 5 disk labels and four 4x6 prints (not photos) and it is telling me both the magenta and yellow are out again!! THIS CANNOT BE RIGHT. I too have always had HP printers, but not sure they are value for money....
The printer did sit unused for about 2 months....would the inks seriously dry up this quick.....it seems odd that within 2 weeks and only 9 small print jobs some of the ink is out already!
PLEASE HELP, this printer is frustrating the hell out of me,
Thanks

Is this while only listening to music or are you watching a lot of video? Video eats up battery life very fast (on a 30GB about 2 hours for video vs. 10+ for music).

Photo I set as desktop comes out too zoomed in

Hello,
When I try to set a a photo as my desk top image it comes out very zoomed in...quite beyond merely fitting to screen.
Is it something to do with my wide screen? It even does this with 16:9 photos.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5 and my universal doc stopped working with it? It has worked flawlessly for the last year and suddenly I get the message: "this iphone is not optimized for this device." The music comes out too quiet to the speakers

I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5 and my universal doc stopped working with it? It has worked flawlessly for the last year and suddenly I get the message: "this iphone is not optimized for this device." I dismiss the message, but the remote no longer works with it and the music is too quite to the speakers. The remote works fine with my Macbook Pro. I tried a restore on the iPhone and started from scrach, but the same problem exists.
Any help with this?
Thanks,
JT

I can't print my aol emails satisfactorily in firefox - they come out too small and incomplete

I use aol for emails, and I used to use aol as my browser. I now access my emails via firefox. for some reason, when I print my emails now, they are printed in tiny print and are incomplete. how do i change the settings?

I had trouble printing my AOL email, too. This is what a tech support guy from another company (I had to pay for this!) told me to do. See if it works for you! 1. Close Firefox
2. Click start > run > > type firefox -safe-mode
IMPORTANT: There is a space between firefox and -safe-mode. Type properly or else it will not work.
3. Click OK
4. In the prompt, choose to reset everything except bookmarks.
5. Click make changes and restart.
After I did this, I could print my emails again. I only had to do this once and could start Firefox the normal way afterwards.

Purple comes out too blue

This may be a limitation of digital cameras, but here goes...
Canon EOS400D, Lightroom 1.4 shooting raw
Took a couple of shots of a deep purple petunia, in bright sunlight, after some rain. In Lightroom, I just cannot make the flower look as deep and dark a purple as it is in real life (I can see it from where I'm sitting, so I can compare both in real time). I am competent in Photoshop, and I know I can correct it there, but surely, there must be some way of getting closer to reality. I know there is always going to be some difference - a digital sensor is not the human eye - but I am reasonably experienced in Lightroom and purple seems to be the only color I can't get right.
Anybody have similar issues? Recommendations?
Thanks

Did you blow the blues out in the raw image?

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

I have a Canon Pixima MP530, ALL Pages Come out Blank, ink tanks are full!

I have a Canon Pixima MP530, all ink tanks are full, printer goes through the motions of printing but all pages come out blank. I am using windows 7. all functions seem to work, except no ink comes out it was working perfectly 2 nights ago. I called canon tech support but they have no idea whats going on with it. am thinking maybe the print head is shot? Any suggestions are welcomed, I LOVE this printer and need it to work.

with that kind of issue it could be the print head oooor it could be the part of the printer that suctions ink into the print head, it's hard to tell. You could take it to a service facility, but it would probably cost you more to repair it to replace it.

How do i print out my picture after scanning it. it comes out way to small

after scanning my picture i print it out and it comes out way to small

VisionAiry wrote:
If you print the scans and they come out too small, it may be that you have a setting off when you scan it in. To resolve this problem completely, you could simply make a copy instead. But in order to assist you with this, I will need to know a lot more information.
1. What kind of printer do you have (Officejet 8600, Photosmart C6380, etc)?
2. What kind of computer do you have (Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS 10.8, etc)?
3. What software/program are you using to scan (HP Scan, HP Solution Center, Paint, etc)?
4. What program are you using to print the scans (Windows Picture Viewer, Photoshop, etc)?
5. What is the file type of the scan (.pdf or .tiff)?
Make sure your scan size is equivelant to the page you are scanning, resolution is set to at least 600 dpi, the item type is set appropriately such as to document since photo will make the image smaller, and go to advanced settings to check file size is not set to "Smallest."
I hope that helps. If not, I will need to you to answer the questions above please or I will not be able to help you. However, I have provided all the necessary information above regarding an HP printer on a Windows PC using the HP Scan.
Let me know if I can be of any more assistance. I'm happy to help!
I have the same problem. I have a HP Photosmart 7525 printer and work with Windows 7. I just want to copy a photo and it keeps coming out much smaller. I just put the photo on the scanner plate in the corner, choose the copy icon, and out comes a small picture in the corner of my photo paper,.There must be a setting somewhere but I can't find it. Can anyone help me?

My HP 1310 series, model1315 has a problem. Every copy comes out with a heavy green tint.

I have cleaned the cartridge, put in a new cartridge, and the "self help" report only has three bars showing, black, green and yellow. It appears it should have six bars of color. All copies come out with a green tint. Any ideas?

It appears your cartridge is out of magenta ink. Is this an original HP cartridge or a reman.refill? If the former check the cartridge warranty as shown here. If the latter see here, then contact your supplier for a replacement or refund.

HP Officejet Pro L7580 - Yellow Ink Cartridge keeps popping out although it's brand new.

Hello,
I have had this officejet printer for about 4 years. I have never had a serious problem until now. A few days ago I replaced the yellow ink cartridge (88XL) because the ink indicator showed it as being completely empty. After replacing the cartridge with a brand new cartridge from OfficeMax, the cartridge pops out while I'm trying to print or copy something and the displays says that the yellow cartridge's ink level is not enough and needs to be replaced.
It seems at first glance that this is a mechanical problem concerning the yellow ink slot; however, I'm not sure. Or I suppose the problem could be related to the cartridge itself. To get around this problem, I've held down the cartridge and stuck a small pencil in the opening where the small latch of the "ink cartridge compartment cover" normally goes in. That way I've been able to print, but it's really a hassle. And honestly I don't think this is the real solution to the problem.
If anyone knows how to resolve this issue, I'd like to hear from you. Please let me know as soon as possible. Worst comes to worst I will have to go out and buy another printer.

Try this for a Quick Fix ...........
After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a 'quick fix' that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for. However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem. So, here it is the Quick Fix ........
I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again. To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do. I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One system, as well as being a good environmental solution. If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Photosmart C7280 All in One error notice saying out of yellow ink when cartridge has been replaced

Hello Forum members...I hope you can help me.
When I try and print something I get an error notice which says that I must replace the yellow ink cartridge and telling me I can print in Black only (which is fine because i usually use the greyscale fast print option anyway). However the worrying thing is that the error notice also says that if I do not replace the yellow cartridge then the printer will cease to work.
I did replace the cartridge quite some time ago. An HP cartridge from HP online. The cartridge is showing full on the bar chart display and yet still the error notice comes up when I try to print.
I hardly use the printer. I am a retired person who may occasionally print out the odd letter or email (I would say on average 2/3 pages per 2/3 weeks.) I very, very occasionally print the odd photo....say twice a year 6 photos.
I got the printer in 2008. This was a replacement FOC for an earlier model of the same type. It was one month out of guarantee when the earlier printer did exactly the same thing. I had just replaced several cartridges (the first replacements). The printer was eventually replaced by the store I had bought it from because they could not repair it. It just stopped functioning. Some computer type glitch
I am now afraid that if I do not act soon then this printer will seize up and be irrepairable.
I do hope some teccy member of the forum will be able to help me.

mine has an error notice that says yellow ink cartridge is empty ( when trying to print something off of the internet) though I have tried 3 new full ones.It also had a message that my printer could print black only. I've been angry for 2 days.
Now, I found out my computer is lying to me! I decided to print a blonde hairstyle I liked off the internet and I hit "black only" since that's my only option. But, it printed in color. I realized I've missed 2 days of being able to print off the internet because my computer or printer was lying.

Ink black won't come out printing my tax filing.

I was gonna plan to do tax filing and needed to print out but ink black won't come out... i have to clean cartidige with tissue paper with alcohol... but won't working... black ink appers half plently of more ink inside. What I am going to do with that?
Please let me know asap! Thank you.

Hi @deafchubbbear77,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I'll do my best to help with your Deskjet 3052a not printing black ink
Please start with the steps within this Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Deskjet 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series document.
If that doesn't seem to do the trick you may want to try cleaning the cartridge contacts, but make sure to just use water. Alcohol will dry out the contacts and may cause further problems in the future.
If that still doesn't work, that black cartridge may need to be replaced. To see if it's eligible for replacement, contact our technical support team via phone and inquire.
Let me know how things go for you
