Hp photosmart unable to print in color from computer

My printer has been working fine. But the other day I had my son change the colored copying to a black and white. How do I change it back to printing in color?

  • Suddenly unable to print in color from photoshop

    Just put in new print cartridges (both b&w and color) in my HP officejet printer and I suddenly can't print color from photoshop. I'm using a mac os x 10.8.
    I seem to be able to print color from other sources such as directly from the internet, or from preview. When I go to Print in photoshop  if I try to select Color Matching ColorSynch and Vendor Matching are greyed out and unselectable. Not that I ever had to go there before but that seems to be the only difference between the print dialog boxes in photoshop and the other sources.

    You should contact Microsoft for Mac Support  and/or post in their forums.

  • Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

    Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

    I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
    At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
    This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

  • 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!

  • Won't print in color from my Mac or iPhoto to HP designjet 500ps

    Won't print in color from my Mac or iPhoto to HP designjet 500ps

    That is quite possible seeing that official drivers have not yet been released yet for Yosemite 10.10
    Suggest you follow this site from time to time for when they are:

  • Can't print in color from iPhoto

    When I try to print a photo from iPhoto, using my color printer, I get a black & white print (not even greyscale). I can print in color from other applications, just not from iPhoto (but I think I used to print in color from iPhoto). Any clues out there?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. Next, remove the printer from the Print and Fax preference pane and reinstall. Also, depending on your printer brand, check the Apple Downloads page for the new printer drivers offered by Apple. Those might help.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I cannot print in color from my MacBook Pro

    I cannot print in color from my MacBook Pro to my hpdeskjet 6122

    hi FalconMom,
    EWS stands for Embedded Web Server.  You will be able to access the printer EWS if it is connected to the same network as your PC or notebook.  Here are the instructions to connect to EWS.
    Open the embedded Web server
    You can access the embedded Web server via either the network or Wi-Fi Direct.
    To open the embedded Web server via network
    NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address for the
    printer can be found by pressing the Wireless icon or by printing a network configuration page.
     In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to the printer.   For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser:
    http://192.168.0.12.
    To open the embedded Web server using Wi-Fi Direct
     From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch (Settings).
     If the display shows that Wi-Fi Direct is Off, touch Wi-Fi Direct and then switch it on.
     From your wireless computer, turn wireless on, search for and connect to the Wi-Fi Direct name,
    for example: DIRECT-**- HP Officejet-5740 (where ** are the unique characters to identify your
    printer). Enter the Wi-Fi Direct password when prompted.
     In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the following address: http://192.168.223.1.

  • Unable to print to pdf from any of my applications

    Hello,
    I am running Acrobat 8.0 on windows 7. Toshiba Qosmio 64 bit. I am unable to print to pdf from any of my applications. Office, Mozilla, Lotus 1-2-3 and others. When I choose the print option. And from the drop down menu choose Adobe PDF as the printer. And when I click to continue I get the little metered bar showing it's working, but then I get an error in the printer que. I don't even get an option what to save it as or where to save it to. It just goes straight to the metered bar showing its working. And it does this for all my programs where I can print to pdf. Can anyone help me? Also, this is a student version. Could the student version be unable to do this?
    Thank you,
    JimmyJoney

    Although Acrobat 8 is not supported on Win 7, you can try a few things. First, apply all updates to Acrobat 8. If this doesn't help, check to make sure that the PDF port was created. If not, you can try:
    Open Control Panel, select Printers
    * Click Add a Printer
    * Click Add a local printer
    * Select Use an existing port (should be preselected), change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf (Adobe PDF Port), click Next
    * On the next page, click Have Disk...
    * Click Browse and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF (or wherever you have Acrobat installed), click OK.
    * It should now show a series of "Adobe PDF Converter" entries. Select the first one and click Next
    * Change the printer name if desired, uncheck the box to use it as a default printer, click Next
    * Do not print a test page, click Finish
    * Find your new printer in Printers. Right click on it and select Properties, Advanced
    * Click "Print directly to the printer", click OK
    These last steps are detailed in the following discussion.

  • Unable to print to pdf from a pdf

    We're having a issue where we're unable to print to pdf from a pdf with acrobat 9 std, so far a 64bit machine. We get the following errors
    "the document could not be printed"
    "there were no pages selected to print"
    We see the issue with all pdfs. Acrobat 7 std works fine, as does printing to pdf from other applications with 9 std. So far it only effects acrobat 9 std. We've repaired the installation and updated to the latest. We do have however only see this with one machine, but we haven't looked past this one machine yet...Any ideas?
    thanks all,
    cg

    XP pro 64bit. Just updated to 9.3.3, still have the error being thrown.
    The user fills in a form from our intranet and then prints it with the adobe printer creating the illusion that its write protected. I'm not one to stop them, given the forms are low value and all. Possibly if the process is uncomplicated (that's key here) then saving the document to the desktop and making the change and write protecting it there before transmittal might be an alternative, as long as it doesn't rely on passwords and keys...
    Sorry I'm an adobe noob.
    thanks,

  • Unable to print pdf files from sites

    I am unable to print pdf files from any website.  Suspect an incorrect setting; but, not sure how to correct it.

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I'm unable to print pdf files from certain web sites. I have just changed to Mavericks

    i'm unable to print pdf file from certain web site. I just changed over to Mavericks.

    You will need to access that PDF on your computer first, before you can print it — unless that PDF is corrupted, which occasionally happens. Your printer needs to be configured and working.
    Default PDF web-browser plug-in in Safari, latest (Firefox/Chrome) also built-in.
    Click on the remote PDF link to open in browser
    On Mavericks, you will need to click through security challenges for the PDF
    File menu > Print
    Right-click on remote PDF file and then choose Download Linked File As...Open that file in /Applications/Preview.appFile > print
    Adobe Reader 11.0.04 PDF plug-in
    Same security challenges on Mavericks as first bullet
    With PDF imaged in browser, either select print icon from the plug-in toolbar, or mouse over the bottom one inch of displayed document and you will see a printer icon in the popup toolbar. Use that.

  • After installing update 11.0.07, I have been unable to print pdf douments from websites displayed in I.E. 11

    I just installed 11.0.07 and since then have been unable to print pdf documents from websites displayed in I.E. 11 (32 bit). The problem did not exist until I installed the update. Opening the same sites with Chrome solves the problem, but some of the important sites I use, (FAA WebOPPS for instance) don't work with Chrome or anything other than I.E. for that matter. Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of the bug and working on a fix?

    Let me put it in context.I am a developer, and in my work we create a flex application a few years ago and we are providing support to this application. Since 2 days ago th button we create in our application for View PDF just stopped working. We use this code:
    public function navigate( url:String ):void
      navigateToURL( new URLRequest( url ), OPEN_NEW_WINDOW );
    It is very simplistic and worked fine as I told you, until Tuesday this week. Please tell me what happened, it seems the last plugin version crashes somewhere and my button just does not work any more.
    Thank you.
