Laserjet 2605dn - Won't print the color RED

My 2 year old 2605dn is acting up. When I try to print a test page made up of several colors the color red comes out orange on the left side and fads to yellow on the far right side. I have changed the toner cartridge (all cartridges are HP, no knock offs or refilled cartridges, EVER!), but the problem still exists. I printed the supplies status page and the red column shows a full cartridge but the color is a pale pink, not red.
Can someone tell me what's going on?
Is the printer failing?
Can this problem be fixed?
Thanks for any help!

Here is what to do:

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color

My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color. It's comes out very light, barely a pink color. It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn - won't print in color

I have an HP Color Laserjet 2605dn printer and recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7. Our IT dept. installed an updated driver (HP Universal Printing PCCCCL 6) but now my printer will not print in color nor can I find a setting where I can adjust it.
I also cannot duplex but found helpful post that I will use to try and correct that issue. If you can help me I would appreciate it. IT seems to busy to help and my work involves a fair amount of graphics so I need my color.
Thank you!!!

This post may be old but someone might use it later. Right click on the printer and go to properties. On the General tab go to printing preferences. (Windows 7- double click printer, click Adjust print options.) Advanced tab - expand Graphic, under Image Color Management change: ICM method to ICM handled by printer or host system. Apply and close out the windows. Run a test print to make sure it works.

LaserJet 2605dn won't print in color

System running Win7-64bit, driver is Univ PCL6 v5. Have tried to print from Outlook, Word, IE, Paint and only get greyscale. Have checked the styles in Outlook and not checked for grey. Also have a Photosmart C7280 and it prints in color fine. Both are connected USB. Not sure what to check now.
Thanks in advance,

System running Win7-64bit, driver is Univ PCL6 v5. Will print photos in colour but will only print word documents in black and white, tried everything, any more suggestions.

HP Laserjet 2550L Won't Print In Color

I recently upgraded to Leopard, and now my HP Laserjet 2550L will not print in color. I've tried printing for several different apps, but they always come out in b & w. It does however print in color when printing a test page from the printer itself, so it must be a driver issue.
Currently I'm running with the "HP color Laserjet 2550 series" driver available via PPDPicker. I've also tried several other drivers listed there to see if by chance one of them would work, but to no avail. I downloaded and tried installing HP Laserjet v5.5.2.051 from HP's website, but I can't get it to install. Actually this driver doesn't even show up in PPDPicker, because for some reason it saves as a text file, which seems weird since the dmg file is about 17mb.
Anyway, this has been driving me nuts all night, so if anyone has a solution or suggestion, I'm all ears.
Thanks.

I see you are having a print quality issue, no color on page, with your M251nw Laserjet. You changed the toner cartridges and the printer is still not printing in color. Have you tried taking all the color toner cartridges out of the printer and reseating them to make sure they are secure in their positions?
As well, I would advise taking a look at the document linked below. It will walk you through the process for troubleshooting a print quality issue with this printer.

MacBook Pro attached to a projector and won't show the color red

Running 10.5.8
When running through a projector to give a presentation the color red has disappeared. The first time it happened I calibrated with the Color Munki and all was well, for a while. Now the Color Munki can't calibrate it anymore.
I've tried two different projectors (both work with another laptop)
tried two different cables and
two different connectors.
Also tried different calibrations.
Today we ran disk utilities and that worked great, for an hour or two.
I would very much appreciate any help possible.
thanks,
Amy

Thanks for your reply.
I just went and checked and the cable is inserted snuggly on all ends. I tried giggling it a bit to see if anything would change. Then I switched cords and connectors and nothing changed. Checked all was connected tightly.
Is it possible that both DVI to VGA connectors are bad? Or do you think it is from the connection inside the laptop? And is there any way to check?
~Amy
And here's a bit more info. I just went to check things again. I turned everything on again. Bad color. As I was sitting pondering things the good color popped back in. Nothing moved anywhere. Just as I was commenting to my husband that the color had come back, it went away again. Still no movement anywhere.

HP Laserjet m251nw - won't print in color

I am not able to print in color to my hp m251nw.
It has been about a week since the problem started.
I replaced all the color cartridges as they were low. Now, no matter what device I use to print - laptop, mobile phone, etc. it always comes out in black and white.
On the printer control panel it shows all the cartridges as being full.
Even when I print the test page on the printer it is in black and white.
HELP????
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer. I downloaded all new drivers from the HP website.
I'm at a loss on this one.

HP LaserJet 1320 won't print in color (Win7 64 bit, new cartridge)

I can't get my HP Laserjet 1320 to print in color any more. Changed the cartridge. I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the issue started before the upgrade to Win 7. I can't even find the selection for color vs black and white printing.

The LaserJet 1320 printer is a monochrome printer, not a colour printer.

Color laserjet CP1525nw won't print in color

I installed both the PCL6 and PostScript drivers on my Surface Pro 3 to print to my Color LaserJet CP1525nw. The printer is connected to my router. The printer prints but only in grayscale. What can I do to be able to print in color and continute to print through my router?

Hi @PaDunc ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing in color from the printer connected to the router. I would be happy to help you.
Please clarify, if the printer is connected to the router by a ethernet or USB cable?
Did you install just the Universal Print Drivers or did you try the Full Feature Software also?
I would recommend the Full Feature Software if that isn't one of the drivers you have already tried.
Try and print the Supplies Status page to see if you have color, just to rule out a hardware issue.
Printing or Viewing the Supplies Status Page.
Make sure the greyscale option isn't enabled in the print driver.
1. From Devices and Printers, right click your printer.
2. Then click the Printer Properties, Preferences button.
3. Click the Color tab.
4. Make sure Print in Grayscale isn't checked.
Did the colors print?
What are the toner levels?
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?

Won't print the color

I am trying to print a document from pages that is mostly black and white- with only 2 lines in red (One of the lines is a graphic). I'm using a Lexmark printer. When I print it the black copy prints perfectly, but the red copy comes out blank. My ink supplies are adequate. Any ideas?

In addition to the cleaning cycle, the printer probably has an option to do test-print page which would confirm whether all the colors are working.
Another possibility is that your printer driver could be set to 'grayscale'.
When you see the print options screen, you may have to click the 'down' button next to the printer name to see more print options. I don't have a Lexmark, but for my Canon color printer, clicking the Layout tab, selecting Quality & Media reveals a checkbox for 'grayscale printing'.

LaserJet 1020 won't print first document after powering up

My LaserJet 1020 won't print the first document it receives after powering-up. Print manager shows that the document is being sent, the printer makes noise like it's getting ready to print, but the document is never printed and I don't receive an error messages. If I send the document again the document prints as does every document there after.
I'm using Windows Vista Professional and the printer is connected via USB 2.0.

Hi jnickelsen,
I understand the printer won't print multiple copies.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
This printer doesn't have the Mopier settings.
What drivers are you using?
Did you download the drivers or are you using the Windows preinstalled drivers?
If you are using the Windows preinstalled drivers then I would download the latest drivers. Here is the URL for the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
I would download and run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically.
Find and Fix Common Printer Problems Using HP Diagnostic Tools for Windows.
Hope this helps.

Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over

When I use my Color LaserJet 2605dn for wireless printing, it keeps printing the first page over & over again. I have to cancel print job on the printer in order to stop it. It works properly on the computer that is directly wired to it, but won't on any other computer that I try to print from. I have had this problem for some time, but now have certain thing that I must print from this printer & can't do it wirelessly. It doesn't seem to be my network, because I can print from all of the other computers onto other wireless printers I have in the office.
Any advice would be appreciated!

HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents & envelope problem

My HP LaserJet P2055dn Printer won't print the last page of documents until i send another document, then it will print the last page of the previous document, but omit the last page of the current document. I need to keep printing a blank page or any other page to get my previous documents completely printed. Also, the envelopes print with large rectangular boxes on them and no address (I don't know if this is a result of the previous stated problem or not - it started happening at the same time) I use the envelope feature in Microsoft Word 2010. I never used to have either of these problems - didn't make any changes to the system or add any software to the computer, so I know it's not that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

That page's troubleshooting for the "Filter failed" message worked out. I consulted the Wiki before but never found that exact page. I guess I didn't use the best search criteria. Thanks for pointing it out.
