MP540 printing wrong colour.

This a.m.I scanned /printed text to take it along with me when Ibuying cheap reading glasses. Original document's black was not intense, but a rather paler shade toward grey. The output had a green shade .
This p.m. I deep clean ed and a nozzle checked. TNozzle check showed that were absent, although magenta cartridge shows as half full. Scan and print this time
gave a good rendering of black, but all the red in the original had become green.
Has anyone had that problem before, please? How was it solved.

MG5350 printing wrong colour

MY MG5350 is printing terrible colour, everything is printed with very pink tones. I have tried everything, to no avail, and I am sick of wasting ink and paper trying to manually use the colour management settings.

PDFs printing wrong colours

Hi there
Hoping someone can help me. I have a cd cover going to print on Monday, ive designed it in photoshop and illustrator cs5. It looks fine on screen and prints out fine from these programs but when i pdf it the colours go so dark you can barely make it out. Pdf looks fine on screen, its only when i print. Theres no way i can send it when its printing out like this! I have tried pdfing from illustrator and photoshop and the colours print as badly on both. I think this is the first time i have printed pdf from CS5. I have been up all night trying to work out whats going on. Ive tried printing out old pdf files created in CS3 and they are printing ok. Please could someone give me some advice, im going crazy!
Thanks
Lisa

PS
if you are caught on a deadline and can't figure Acrobat printing out, not to worry, do your proofing in Photoshop
as long as you have a 'calibrated' monitor, Photoshop will display color correctly (using the correct Source Profile) and "Soft Proof" your printer's recommended Printer Profile to doublecheck any gamut issues
just be sure to embed ICC profiles in your documents and make sure your people downstream use your embedded profile

HP PSC 1100, 1200, or Officejet 4100 Series Not Printing Correctly (See this link for full instructions with diagrams, plus other solutions to try. The following instructions were taken from this document.
The colors are incorrect
This normally occurs because one of the ink cartridges are low on one or more colors of ink, do the following to determine if the ink cartridge is out of ink.
Check the estimated ink levels in the Printer Toolbox. If the all-in-one software is not installed, skip to Step 2.
NOTE: The estimated ink levels are calibrated for the HP 56 and HP 57 ink cartridges. The estimated ink level will be incorrect for the HP 28 ink cartridge.
In the HP Director software, click Settings , click Print Settings , and then click Printer Toolbox .
In the Printer Toolbox, select the Estimated Ink Level tab as is shown in Figure 1. Remember that this is an estimated ink level based on counting the drops of ink used and that it may not reflect the actual amount of ink remaining. If one or more of the colors of ink are low or empty, replace the ink cartridge.
Figure 1: The Estimated Ink Level tab of the Printer Toolbox
Print a test page by one of the following methods:
From the Printer Toolbox: Select the Device Services tab of the Toolbox and then click Print a Test Page . The test page marked A in Figure 2 will print.
From the all-in-one front panel: Press and hold the Cancel button, and then press the Color Start Copy button. The test page marked B in Figure 2 will print.
Figure 2: Self test pages - A is from the Printer Toolbox, B is from the front panel
If the colors on the test page look correct and are not faded or light, continue troubleshooting with Step 4 below. If the colors on the test page do not look correct or are faded or missing, clean the ink cartridges as detailed in the "Cleaning the ink cartridges " section below. Replace the ink cartridge if the correct colors do not print after cleaning the ink cartridge.
Assign a color management profile to the all-in-one. To do this, refer to the following:
Click Start , click Settings , and then click Printers (in Windows XP, click Start , and then click Printers and Faxes ) to open the Printers folder.
In the Printers folder, right-click the HP all-in-one printer icon and then click Properties .
Click the Color Management tab.
Click Add to see the list of available color profiles.
In the Add Profile Association dialog box, select Diamond Compatible 9300k G2.2.icm .
Click Add and then click OK . Print the file again. If the application does not print in color, use Microsoft Paint to print a document with colors.
Try printing again and see if the colors are better.
When printing on some photo papers, there can be a greenish cast to blacks when photo paper is the selected paper type. Change the Paper Type setting to HP Bright White paper or Plain paper and print the page again.

Table text prints wrong colour

My webpages have a black background with text in yellow.
It also has some information in tables, and there are links within this table.
I can use print css to successfully print the body of the pages in black text, but the text in tables will only print in yellow. This is not easy to read on a white background and I simply cannot figure out how to get around this. The tables are required, by the way.
Cn anyone suggest a code that will print out the table text in yellow, and the links within that table in blue?
Thanks for any help that is offered

Not printing actual colours

sir my printer is not printing the actual colours, for example when i want to print yellow colour, it is printing brown colour, what might be the problem with my printer? and what shoul i do?
thanks..

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.

Printing in colour on hp 14

I bought an HP Chromebook 14 for myself in Dec '14. I have a HP printer that has the ePrint function but it won't print in colour.
I have seen a previous post with a similar issue. The fix was to click on 'print using google cloud print dialogue' at the bottom left when the print window opened. This is ridiculous as it's not like I'm using my system dialogue because that already is google cloud print. It makes zero sense why there are two pathways to print via the same dialogue. Despite my ideas about this, I did try it.
I have done this and it has allowed me to print in colour. However, the option via this pathway of printing in landscape no longer exists. I reached a point where I could print portrait in colour but not landscape. I could print landscape using the original print window because the option was there but even though I had selected colour it would be in black and white. The 'print using google cloud print dialogue' is clearly the default setting. So, when I print using the print window and select landscape and in colour, the 'print using google cloud print dialogue' overrides to black and white but does not change the orientation because that option doesn't exist. Hence allowing me to print in landscape.
I believe I have an understanding as to why the above happens (but it shouldn't) but I do not know how to get around it.
However, from about 2 weeks ago, the 'print using google cloud print dialogue' button has dissappeared. Now I can only print in black and white, period.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me sort this out. I would eventually like to be able to print in colour for both portrait and landscape.
Thank you.

Hi @elisafalconer
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are unable to print in color from your HP Chromebook to your HP printer.
I have included a link to the Google Forums to a thread titled HP printer won’t print color using HP Chromebox. I don’t know if you have the same printer as mentioned in the thread, but there are some valid trouble shooting steps to try.

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.

My HP printer will no longer print in colour

After upgrading to the latest OS my HP printer will not print in colour for me. I thought at first it was the printer error, but then I realised it still prints in colour for my husband's Dell. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer; updating the printer driver; looked and looked at the settings to try to find a colour setting in case I've somehow got it set to b&w - but I still can't get any colour print. Any ideas?

It is quite a while since I've used an HP printer, MillyJ, but immediately under the "orientation" selection in the standard print dialogue is there a drop down box which provides a variety of choices including "Quality and Media"? If so, select it and make sure that "Grey Scale Printing" is not enabled. If not look through any other options offered. Strangely, the option for grey scale or black and white printing doesn't appear under the "Color" settings with quite a few printers.
You might also want to have a look at http://ostatic.com/question/mac-leopard-printing-in-black-and-white and see if using the instructions there provide any clues to resolving the issue (essentially in reverse, as this person was actually trying to print in B&W and having trouble)

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.

Laserjet 200 won't print in colour

I have had the printer for just over a year and it has worked perfectly.
I have just replace three of the cartridges as they had run out and it will not only print in back and white (or 50 shade of grey).
All the cartridges are full and I can't work out how to get it to print in colour again.
Any help very much appreciated.
David

Hi @DavidRhodes ,
I see that you are having issues printing in color after replacing 3 toners. I would like to help you.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
On the printer, go to Setup, Reports Menu, Supplies Status or Demo Page.
Did the self tests print in color?
If it is a hardware issue, please try the steps in this document. Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
If the issue is software related, please try the following steps:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing in color again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Hello - how do i get my mac pro to print in colour

Hello - how do i get my mac pro to print in colour - i am using HP Envy 120 and can not print in colour. when testing the printer, the printer prints in colour, but trying to print from the mac book pro - it prints in black and white. i can't find an option that

I know nothing about your printer. However, to use it properly you must Add the printer in Print & Scan preferences.
See OS X Mavericks- Set up a printer. Also, consult the printer's user manual. With the proper setup the printer should print color or b/w automatically. If you have further problems you need to start with the printer HP's tech support.

I have an epson printer epson stylus office BX625 FWD that will only print in black and white on my PC it prints full colour

i am unable to print in colour only black and white where as my PC prints all day in colour

What does airprint have to do with printing in bw vs in color? The user hasn't even stated which printing method they use.
I watched your video the other week after seeing you post it in a thread where you also suggested to it to be the solution. The video could not have been more off topic and was the biggest waste of anybody's time. So it is completely suspect when you keep injecting your youtube video in several threads.
There's a few things that changed when it comes to printing and scanning in Yosemite.
The first order of business is that users should get the latest driver for their device/printer/scanner. That will get them up and running before they even finished taking notes while watching videos.
