HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09

Hi, everybody!
I got a huge problem for me that the HP Color Laserjet 1600 cannot print in color with Pages 09 after I upgrade to 10.6.1. It worked very well in 10.5.8. Since there is no official driver from HP website for 1600, so I used foomatic/foo2hp as the driver.
It is very strange that I can print in color with Safari and Preview in 10.6.1, but cannot with Pages 09. When I print with Pages 09, it always shows that the print job was completed but my printer was nothing happened.
I just re-install the 10.6 OS "complete new", install the printer driver with the instructions on this forum.
It would be high appreciated if somebody can help me on it!

Why doesn't MAC just give us the driver for the HP Color Laserjet 1600? It's one of the most popular home based business laserjets. It's the one I use and a lot of other people in business use it so I'm at a loss as to why they don't.
I bought my MAC Pro tower for video editing and I can't print from it and have had to reinstall the OS on it once already because Safari wouldn't open a window. So much for the MAc advertising statement of "We're so much easier to use."
After spending close to $10,000 on MAC equipment, Tower, Laptop, Monitor, etc. if they think I'm going to spend more for a new printer just because I can't get a driver to print they're thinking wrong. I going to re-think my new cell phone purchase too. Has anyone had software issuses with their phones before I go out and buy one?

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.

HP Deskjet 1000 Printer - J110a cannot print in color using WIndows 8

J110a cannot print in color using WIndows 8. The printer will only print in black and white even though it works fine on a PC with Windows 7. I installed the latest drivers from the HP web-site.

Hey @KC1964,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since installing your HP Deskjet 1000 Printer on your Windows 8 computer you have not been able to print in colour. Because you are able to print fine from a Windows 7 computer we know that this issue is not being caused by your printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. I'm thinking that your machine is either experiencing a driver conflict or a setting issue within the Windows 8 computer. Please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Check Settings:
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
Click on Devices and Printers
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your HP Deskjet
Select Printing Preferences
In the Preferences window select the Advanced button on the bottom right
Look for the Greyscale or Print Black Only and make sure they are disabled
If all settings are correct, yet the issue persists, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Try Alternate Driver:
To confirm if this issue is specific to the Deskjet 1000 driver I am going to have you load an alternate driver on your machine.
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
Once the Start screen opens type Devices and Printers
In the Devices and Printers folder right click on your Deskjet 1000 and left click on Printer Properties
Left click on the Advanced tab
Left click on New Driver
When the New Driver window opens just hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
Select HP as the Manufacturer on the left
Select Deskjet 9800 as the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 doesn't appear than select 'Windows Update' on the bottom left and once the update completes you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next to complete the New Driver Wizard
Under the Printer Properties window select 'Apply' but don't hit OK
Select the General tab
Rename your printer back to HP Deskjet 1000
Hit OK
Lastly, right click on your Deskjet 1000 one more time and left click on Printing Preferences
Left click on the Paper/Quality tab
Left click on the 'Normal' dropdown for Print Quality on the bottom right and change this to Fast Normal
Click Apply and OK
Now that the new driver is added in, please test printing in colour again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Cannot print all colors on HP Photosmart C7180

Time to contact HP support.

Cannot print to Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw

I have a HP Color Laserjet MFP M177fw hard wired to my router. I can print from internet explorer, chrome and other applications such as Office and Notepad, etc. I cannot print from Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I can get to the print dialogue page and hit print but nothing comes out and I can't see any jobs stuck in the print queue.
I am using an HPtouch computer with Windows 8.1

I have the same problem for my 177fw. It does connect to my desktop via wireless connection when I check the control panel, yet no printing job could be done and they just disappear in the queue list. Sorry to say that, Ms. Helen-Hua, but I don't think "trying to print as image" can help to solve the problem no matter what result it is. For most people I don't think they would accept a printer that cannot print a simple text document.
Look forward to receiving working solution.
PS. The wireless connection has absolutely no problem for my win 7 laptop and my desktop which is formerly win 7. The problem only happen when the computer is upgraded to win 8.1 and another brand-new win 8 desktop.

Why does IE 9 say internal error and cannot print to Color Laserjet 2600n?

IE 9 displays message "Internal error, cannot print page" when I try to print to a networked Color Laserjet 2600n. Printing works well on my other networked HP printer.

The windows 8 driver for this printer should be available in late January. Please bookmark this site and visit it for up to date information. Also located on this site are links to documents for the network workaround and the in-os document.
Laserjet Printers supported in Windows 8
Install HP print software via a network in Windows 8
As a test, I did install this using the windows 7 drivers, it printed fine but I received a pop up giving me an error printing but it still printed. I then used the network work around to shut the bi-di off and the pop up went away, again it printed fine. I would suggest if you use the windows 7 drivers, that you upgrade to the windows 8 drivers when they are available.

Firefox cannot print in color a websites but other programs can

The webpage, http://www.rosarysunday.com/seatingchart.html
will not print in color in either Firefox or Seamonkey.
It will print in color from Internet Explorer.

Have you already seen [[firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
*What exactly happens, or does not happen and do you get any error messages ?
*Is it all websites you have a problem with, or only some ?
* What happens if you work offline, can you load web pages that are saved on your own computer ? <br> (save something with IE, -as HTML web page files - maybe this page, then try opening it with both Firefox and IE)
Can you use firefox to look at your local disk such as (depending on your setup) ''file:///C:/''
Try checking security settings, and security logs, is firefox being blocked ?

Cannot print in color from my computer

ENVY 7640 all-in-one. Brand new. Using the cartidges that came with the printer and ink levels are fine. Running Yosemite on my iMac. Using wireless connection. When I set this printer up last week, it printed in color including from my computer, iPhone and iPad. But starting Friday night my screenprints from the computer have only come out in black and white. Checked the cartidges. Ran a print check--which came out in color. Checked printer settings on my Mac: they are set for color, not black and white. I still have my old HP 4700 printer hooked up and that will print in color. Could sure use some concrete help. Thanks.

Hello David_73,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with printing in colour.
Please click on the following link that deals with when the Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Cannot print in color on hp psc 950 using OX 10.9.5

I recently bought a new computer running OX 10.9.5. I tried to download driver software from hp site. The software I downloaded does not appear to support color printing. It is not clear to me from the hp site if they fully support my operating system for this printer. Any help appreciated.

Hi,
The printer is not supported on 10.9. only the models listed below are supported by the OS:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201465#HP
You may try the 3rd party GutenPrint drivers which list your printer as supported:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
As well the 3rd party HPIJS drivers should work, any of those options should apply:

How do I print in color to my HP D110a from my MacBook Air (Maverick)

I cannot print in color on my HP D110a printer from my new MacBook. I downloaded the drivers and it prints ok in black and white, but there are no options under System Preferences - Printers/Scanners to choose color or grayscale. Do not know where to look or what to download to fix this problem.
This question was solved.

Hello @TexasMos ,
Thanks for getting back to me. The AirPrint driver may be selected instead of the HP driver, by the sounds of it. I would like you to see the link below to see some screen shots that will help you check which driver is selected. If you see the AirPrint driver selected, you will need to change it to the HP driver.

OJ Pro 8625 will not print in color only shades of gray

Printer was purchased two days ago. The printer will not print in color only black and shades of gray. alignment test on 2/28/15 showed color. cartridges show full.

Hi there @ChuckHilde
Welcome to the HP Community
I saw your post about how you cannot print in color, and I would like to refer you to try the steps I previously recommended in another thread. The printer itself prints in color, therefor there is most likely settings on your Mac that need to be changed.
Click here to get to that thread and try the steps: Re: Printer Only Prints Pictures in Black & White
You should be able to print in color after those steps!

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!

Unable to print correct color. Ever. I need a guru.

I have tried embedding Adobe color profile. I have tried NOT embedding profile. I have tried printing from Photoshop using Color Sync. I have tried printing from Preview (using TIFF) and Adobe color controls rather than ColorSync. No matter what I seem to do, I cannot print the color temperature I see on the screen. Everything has a slightly marooned tint to it - away from yellow. It's not horrible, but it is also not acceptable.
I am on a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5
Photoshop CS5 (extended) 12.1

There are three things in this chain that must be aligned for prints to come out as expected.
1. The image must be in a color space that the monitor can accurately represent
2. The monitor must be calibrated to represent that color space accurately
3. The printer must be able to represent that color space accurately.
Main issues with mis-matched color can be due to:
• using a color space that is not supported by your printer
• using a color space on your printer or output device that is different than the color space of your file/editing program
• having a monitor that is seriously out of calibration.
If you are interested in good quality prints, start with the monitor since that is how you are setting up the image.
There are a number of calibration devices/ software out there. I used a Spyder 2 Pro for a while and it helped. There are also others.
Have fun.
