HP deskjet 3420 not printing color in Windows 7

Hi,
I installed my HP deskjet 3420 in a PC with windows 7. It is not printing in color. It has color ink. I think it may not be fully functional with 7. Is there any hope for me or do I need a new printer?
Thank You

Hi,
There should be no issues with printing on a DJ3420 & windows 7. I did find a troubleshooting document for colour prints coming out as black & white
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bud09113&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=...
I hope that this helps.

Could be a lot of reasons. First try to print a supplies status page- If that prints with color on it, you have a driver problem.

CS3 will not print color pictures

Photo Shop will not print color pictures. It printed fine for over a year then just quit printing in color a few months ago. A work around was given by our Higher head Quarters but when printing this way the pictures do not print properly and the pictures can't be adjusted or modified any.
Machines having this problem are running Windows XP.
What are the proper setting for this program?
Do I need a software update?

Check the updater and make sure you installed the updates for Photoshop CS3.
But most likely this is a configuration issue with your printer driver.
Many drivers do have settings that force black and white printing, overriding what the application sends to the driver.

HP Photosmart 7525 not printing color correctly

HP Photosmart 7525 will not print color from any application.
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium.
Grayscale is not on.
Tried printing with discolored background correction
Tried each of the color management options separately from discolored background correction and combined with it.
Replaced the ink, and the result was worse!
The quality report shows no color ink whatsoever, and from the display, it looks like the printer believes it has no color ink left.

Attempted to clean cartridges and align the printer through the display pad: no luck.

Any advice on what is wrong and how to fix it.. Any help is greatly appreciated...

HP Photosmart C5380 not printing colors as it should

I'm having a problem with printing. Up until the other day I was printing ok, but suddenly when I went to print instead of printing red, a yellowish orange color was printing, and purple was printing a very light blue. I cleaned the printhead, which resulted in red printing in yellow. I used the clean printhead option on the printer settings, colors are printing mostly ok. Just some lines are more faded than others. The colors that print with this are orange, green, purpule, yellow, pink and blue. I also tried to print in grayscale, which ended up printing in green. Any ideas of how to fix this problem??? Thanks

HP 3650 deskjet will not print in Windows 7

New pc w/ Windows 7. My HP deskjet 3650 will not print PDF, Quicken, Website selections, etc.
HELP!

Did you install the driver as described here? Will the printer print a Windows test page or a file from Notepad? Do print jobs remain in the print queue? Are there any error messages?
Running the diagnostics at http://www/hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

Hello Bhl3302,
Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.
Best Regards,
Alina M
