Hp deskjet 990c not printing in colour

Hello
I recently made the switch to a MacBook, however my hp deskjet 990c is now not printing in colour! Additionally, I can't seem to find how to enable double sided printing.
Can anyone help me please?!
I've attached an image on what happens when I click on print.
Many thanks.

Hi Alia26,
I understand that you cannot print in color or do duplex printing now. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. Could you please try printing from another program to see if you have the choice to print in color and duplex.
I suggest that we start with power cycling the network.
How to power cycle network
Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
1.Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
2.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
3.Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
4.Turn off the computer.
5.Wait 30 seconds.
6.Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
7.Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
8.Turn the computer back on.
9.Wait for the computer to reload.
10.Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
11.Turn the printer back on.
In the User Guide on page 24 it explains the setup for Manual Two-Sided Printing
User Guide LINK: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpd08297.pdf
Here is a document for Installing and Using the Printer, you did not mention what your operating system is on the Macbook but this document's steps are the same for Mavericks.

I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc." or "Kyocera Inc."
http://usa.kyoceradocumentsolutions.com/americas/jsp/upload/resource/25359/0/Mac Driver3SoftwareGuide1.1.pdf
On the printer driver documentation, Page 5, in the Imaging setting, although the options are not specifically shown, there should be an option on that screen of the print driver to click and select "B/W" or 'black and white' or 'grayscale' or 'monochrome' as Print Mode rather than the "Full Color" option shown in the illustration below.
You access these settings once you have selected 'Print' from an app.
If necessary, you might need to click on the 'Down arrow' button next to the printer name (OS X 10.6), or 'Show Details' button at the bottom of the print dialog box (OS X 10.8) to see additional settings.

Can Not Print in Colour

Just had a replacement of All in One Photosmart Printer C310a. Everything is set, however, i can not print in colour. i have done all that i could it only printing black and white. All the inks are in position, the printer has recognised the inks, allingment printed out, however trying to print anything from computer or copy a colour document, it comes out black and white.
NEEDS SOLOTION PLEASE.
CHEERS

If the unit produces B&W copies when selecting color, then this would be a possible indicator of a hardware problem in the printer. Have you tried printing a Printer Status Report out of the setup menu>>reports>>printer status report?
Also, there is a document with steps to troubleshoot a print quality issue. This document can be found here.

Officejet 6500A Plus not printing in colour in Mavericks

Hi
I have an Officejet 6500A Plus that is currently not printing in colour. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.3. The printer used to print colour when I had a wireless connection but this was very temparamental connecting and got worse when Mavericks appeared so I decided to use a USB connection. To do this I had to uninstall all the HP software and then reinstall the printer as a USB printer. Everything works fine scanning and printing, but it will not print in colour. The HP help says to make sure Apple Software is up to date which it is and everything should work, but it doesn't. I'm unable to install the HP software that orginally came on disk as it wont work with Mavericks and there doesn't seem to be any useful help from HP - will this ever work again?
Jeremy

Welcome to the HP Forums Jezza1505,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print in color on the Maverick since uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers. I can help you with this issue.
I checked online and the drivers for Maverick are from the Apple Updates.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the name.
If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing a document in color again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

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

Thank you for the information.
How old are your cartridges? And how long is it since the last use?
- Try read through this document.
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/troubleshootDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=4...
- Skip the Contextual wrapper part, mac os part etc.
There is a few steps that I would recommend to read through and try. They will most likely solve the print quality issue.
Let me know when you tried these steps and the result of it.

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.

HP 2575 will NOT print in Colour

Hello,
I have an HP 2575 All-in-One printer,originally it printed OK,but,it was printing more in colour than black/white,even any text,somehow,I played in the setup and managed to print ONLY in black/white,now,I can't print anything in colour,I've replaced the colour cartridge #95 with a new one,with no luck,I've also replaced # 98 (black/white) cartridge with # 99 as per manual to get more colour,unfortunately after the money I spent on the cartridges,still unable to print in colour.
The printer works well for scanning/copying/printing and etc.but,all in black,does anyone know if there's a software/hardware switch to turn the colours back on?? can someone HELP please,I would hate to throw this printer out and ending up buying a new one.
Thanks to All
Regards

The most likely cause for no color at all would be the #95 cartridge. The printheads are built in to the cartridge, replacing the cartridge would replace the printheads. One thing to try would be to gently blot the printhead on a damp tissue. A light smear of color or no color at all would indicate an issue. A working cartridge would show a strong blot of cyan, magenta and yellow. Are there any indications of color at all on the page? It is also possible (but less likely) that there is an electrical issue in the drive electronics. Even a tiny bit of color would indicate the electronics are likely OK.

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,

Why Hp2800 Inkjet not printing full colour. Have replaced cartridge and heads

My old HP 2800 suddenly began printing not in full colour - I replaced the colour cartridges, still not full colour printing - then replaced printer heads - still not full colour printing - everything is in black and shades of blue. Please help

Hi melissaccss,
I see you have replaced a cartridge and can no longer print black ink. I appreciate the troubleshooting you have done so far, but please take a look at the following document to see if you have done all that can be done; Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
If the issue persists, I recommend calling HP and letting the know the issue as well as the steps you have already completed. It may be helpful to even let them know you completed all of the steps in HP document #c01957673.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.

Help needed with windows 7 and old deskjet 870Cse not printing

System:
Windows 7 and Deskjet 870Cse.
Because my new laptop does not have the traditional old printer cable port, it only has USB ports, I purchased a USB Parallel printer cable. Hooked it up and system recognized it as a Unspecified Device (IEEE-1284 Controller). It does not recognize it as a printer.
Because it is not recognized I can not print anything.
Any ideas/help on how to get the drivers installed or to have it recognize the printer would be appreciated.
UPDATE:
I was able to get the driver and add a new printer and now can select to print to it. However, the head moves and everything but when the page come out there is nothing on the page.
Any ideas? I know there used to be a program to clean the heads but I don't have that now on this computer or don't know where to find it. Any thoughts?

Hi there mmcdermott,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here (to ensure there are no problems with the drivers etc installed):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Deskjet 6940 not printing PFD's

I have one of the above attached directly to the PC via USB cable, the PC is winXP Business SP3.
When I try to print out a PDF document the printer makes a noise, I can see the job Spooling(then this disapears very quickly) then nothing. After this attempt, when I get a print job out(not PDF) I get a blank page before the printed job.
All else is fine. Could it be a Postscript problem? I have the latest drivers installed, the properties ofthe PDF doc show me that it is avaliable to be printed, but just no job comes out.

Did you install through software update this week, the HP Printer Drivers v.2.11 for OS X? In the text file, /var/log/cups/error_log, is there any helpful information about failed prints?
Have your deleted your printer from preferences and reinstalled it? The 6940 series is still supported.
I would create an arbitrary folder name, let's call it HPprefs. With the Finder, navigate to your ~/Library/Preferences folder and look for the printer preferences that contain something like these ... yours may be different for the 6940.
com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.hplaser.plist
com.hp.print.psdriver.pde.plist
com.hp.printerutility.plist
Highlight them and from a right button, choose copy these files. Then within the HPprefs folder, hold down the option key and choose move items here.
Now remove your printer from Print & Fax preference pane and set it up again. Try printing from Word or Preview again.
