Ink only half used - but color is all wrong Photosmart C4585

Even on my Windows test page the windows logo has no yellows.
I have used the printer only once before - to print a black and white a4 phot.. and this seemed to use a whole load of the color ink cartridge (!) but it is at least 25% full.
Hoewever I reisnatlled windows and then set up the printer .. but now even my black and white photo prints are all pink!

I've noticed the same problem.  Were you ever able to receive an intelligent helpful response?  I've now got a problem that I'm unable to print in color, on black, despite the selection is set for color.  And, the print head alignment can't align.  One year ago i replaced the print heads.  Today I replaced with hp ink, the color cartridges.  Can't figure out if the is a way to determine if the ink is reaching the printheads, which could be helpful in diagnosing it the print heads are bad again after a year?

  • HUGE VIDEO PROBLEM!  The colors are all wrong!  Quicktime Gamma Bug!

    I'm on a Mac, and there is a huge problem with video.  When you view or playback videos, the color is all wrong!  It's desaturated and faded.  If you import your videos into premiere or playback through vlc, then everything looks correct. If you play them back or edit them in lightroom, the colors are all wrong. 
    Nice try Adobe, but you failed.         

    Ok, but we'll need more details.
    Your OS version, how you calibrate your monitor, whether you see the same playing through Quicktime standalone on your Mac, what camera the videos came from, whether they've been edited in other software, etc. 
    This is a beta so there will be bugs - that information could help narrow down and fix issues such as these.

  • Tv episodes only half downloaded but shows fully downloaded

    Hi
    I downloaded a full season of a tv show from iTunes on to my I pad, but when I went to watch the first episode only a portion of it was fully downloaded. I checked and some of the other episodes have the same problem. After sinking to my pc the episodes are still only half there. What should I do?
    Thanks

    Hello dhillapple,
    I think I would start here with this article named Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1718.
    If that troubleshooting doesn't resolve the issue, then I would suggest creating a new iTunes library with this iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1589 and then downloading a few of the videos with this Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 to it to see if the issue persists.
    If the issue does not persists in the new library then I recommend recreating your iTunes library.
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    If the issue does persist in the new library then I would use this article to help isolate whether or not it is system wide or user specific.

  • My speakers and earphones will not work. worked fine last time I used but not at all when I started

    I used my dv6 6033d last night on Skype and it worked great.  Today when I started my computer, I have no sound from internal speakers or the earphones.  It dosn't show on mute.  What can it be?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If none of the above resolves the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Watching streaming video and the picture is compressed vertically into only half the window space-what is wrong?

    Using Firefox to look at live video streams from BP undersea operations. The picture in the window that opens is compressed into only 1/2 of the vertical space, so I see a very distorted image.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == has been like this since I installed Firefox a few weeks ago

    Did you start with the generic PAL camera definition in MAX?
    It sounds like you are in field mode instead of frame mode, which should fix the squashing.
    Sounds like a good problem to contact NI support with.

  • Upgraded to Tiger OS and now color prints all wrong

    I recently replaced my HD and upgraded to Tiger OS. Since then, my color prints have been horrible. My printer/copier is an Epson CX4800 and the color copies it produces are still OK. Trying to print a color print produces a pic with bands of color at the top and bottom borders, incorrect colors in the picture, and a weird type of "halo" effect around the objects within the picture. I have downloaded the newest updates/drivers for my particular printer. I have tried printing different types of files (JPEG, GIF) and get the same results. The printer/copier itself checks out OK (nozzle check, head alignment, etc). Any ideas??
    thanks,

    Theresa, my old Epson 740 did exactly the same thing as you described after updating toTiger 10.4.8. I just chalked it up to the printer being so ancient. Like you I went through all the cleaning rituals. However, I also have an Epson Stylus Photo R220 which survived the update.
    Did you by any chance repair permissions after you updated? (Apparently, this did not work for my ancient Epson.)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature
    If by chance you did repair permissions, maybe you should contact Epson and/or check out their support site to see if there is some sort an issue w/your model printer & the latest Tiger update.

  • Hp 6600 won't print in black ink only

    Two of my color cartridges are supposedly empty (but I rather doubt it) so I decided I'd print in black ink only. I followed the directions as directed in the hp software and changed preferences to black ink only. Still, when I try to print I get a message that I need to replace the two colored ink cartridges that are empty. I'm very frustrated. Why won't this work?

    I went to the link suggested and the answer was what I already knew. Shame on HP for selling a product without including that you need all cartridges full to use black and white In LARGE BOLD  print. The following is not helpful.  It only tells me what I already know.   I will NEVER buy an HP product again. HP Officejet Printers - Printing with Depleted CartridgesIssueCan the printer operate for an extended period of time with depleted cartridges?SolutionFor regular usage, this product is not designed to print using only the black cartridge when the color cartridges are out of ink.However, your printer is designed to let you print as long as possible when your cartridges start to run out of ink. When there is sufficient ink in the printhead, the printer will offer you the use of black ink only when one or more of the color cartridges are out of ink, and the use of color ink only when the black cartridge is out of ink.The amount that you can print using black or color ink only is limited, so have replacement ink cartridges available when you are printing with black or color ink only.When there is no longer sufficient ink to print you will get a message that one or more cartridges are depleted, and you will need to replace the depleted cartridges before you resume printing.

  • I am trying to print a webpage in black ink only but it continues to be printed with colors.

    That was just my curiosity about the web browser. It has nothing to do with the printing issue.
    Have you selected gray scale and tried reprinting yet?

  • While using my Iphone 5, all of a sudden  black and white stripes where on the screen. I have tryed to turn the phone off and on again, but there are only the stripes. I can't use it, and nothing happens when I push the buttons. Can someone help me?

    Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

  • I make videos using my go pro hd camera, but when i export it only half of my 3 min video shows up with the audio playing in the background, plus when i try to select the quality in the export options it won't let me select 720p or 1080p?????? help!!!

    What you could do now is break up your video into smaller parts and render them out, then assemble them again as a whole.
    I know this is not the best fix, but it might work.
    You can duplicate an edit in the main screen, then delete the last bits and export,
    do the same for the other half.
    Then import the two bits (or more if you need) in a new edit.
    Out of curiosity, can you post what format the video is in?
    Copy a video straight from the camera to your computer.
    Open it in Quicktime player, and with out playing type Apple + i
    or Control + i for PCs
    It should tell you lots of info about the video, and might help us to see what is wrong.
