My Color LaserJet will not print in color

Hi, I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni
It has been working perfectly fine with my computer until now.
I am using a Windows Vista 32-bit
I just tried to print something on here, but it automatically prints in black and white.
I tried looking in the preferences, but I can't find any options to switch it back to color.
I tried it with another computer in the house, and it worked fine there, so it just seems to be this computer.
Please let me know, thanks.

HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color

My HP Laserjet 300 Color MFP m375nw will not print in color. First it would not even print (has something to do with Google Chrome). I uninstalled the program and tried to reinstall the program but it will not complete the whole installation process. Says it has an error, took to long to run. But the Printer is in the DEVICE section, but not in the PROGRAMS on the Control Panel. When I go to print now, I press (Ctrl, Shift, P) and it will on print in Black no Color. If I go to print the normal why and select, I hit Print and then it ask to select a Printer and there is no Printer to select.

HP color laserjet CP2025 will not print. Help.

I have a HP color laserjet CP2025, but it will not print. I installed the driver HP Color LaserJet CP2020 Series PCL 6. I have a Windows Vista Home Premium. There is a message to replace the cyan cartridge, but I assume if the printer has black ink, then it'll print in black and white. Do I need to replace the cyan cartiridge for it to print? What other options can I try to troubleshoot?
Thank you.

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!

HP Photosmart Premium c 309g will not print black, all other colors fine. Shows ink levels fine,

Have photosmart premium c309 g connected wirelessly to I Mac and Mac book pro. The unit suddenly will not print black. Ink levels show all good. All other colors print fine. When check HP utility and go to print quality diagnostics, a box appears that states cannot print PQ page--make sure printer is turned on. If I tell it to print a page, it immediatly connects and prints all colors but not black. How can it print regular page but not receive message to print PQ page? "make sure printer is on" ??

I have this exact same problem with the same printer. Printer will not print black. My macbook pro is connecting to the printer but shoots out a blank page. I just put in a new ink cartridge even though it was not low on ink. Please help.

Officejet 6100 - H611a Will not print in grayscale when color cartridge is depleted.

The title says it all. - Windows 7 64-bit
Officejet 6100 - H611a Will not print in grayscale when color cartridge is depleted!
Even though the documentation that came with the printer says it will. After 2+ hours on the phone with HP support over the course of 2 days, I have been informed that printer WILL NOT print in black ink only if a color cartridge is empty.
I thought anyone who purchases this model should know the documents included lie.
From page 31 of the Officejet 6100 user manual: "If a color cartridge is depleted, the printer will print in grayscale using the black cartridge." LIES!
The HP Help Programs says the same thing.
I have hard-reset the printer, removed and reinserted all the cartridges, set the options to "black ink only," Nothing worked. 3 HP reps all said the same thing, "You have to get a new magenta cartridge."
Will be retuning for a refund as I purchased this model SPECIFICALLY because the manual said it would print the grayscale without color ink present.
Have had 4 HP printers over the years, never even considered buying anything except HP. This will be my last HP printer. Extremely disappointed by HP's deception.

Sorry the printer did not perform as expected. I have escalated this in an effort to get this to the right people.

My HP 5535e-All-in-one printer will not print in color on items from computer

Item on computer has color in it, when you hit print it will print all black but will not print any of the color items

Oddly @FlaBoy34, I did not get a notification that you had responded. I do see now that the issue you were experiencing remains. I suggest calling us to discuss your in/out of warranty options.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps.

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now?

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now? It will print in color if the black is low but not if any color is low. This is very annoying. Printer is using HP cartridges too.

Get used to this with HP printers - its a new feature they have introduced to keep running costs lows - works well. Had two HP printers same happened with both of these. Suggest a different brand - they might not have this special feature

Black will not print all other colors work

black will not print others colors will

The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. If the above fails the post here may help (it is for a different model but same principle applies.)

C7280 Yellow is full but will not print in color

I have been searching all the forums and internet for this problem so I will post.
I have a C7280 that will not print in yellow. I have put in two new printer cartridges but I continue to get this message.
To print in color replace the following cartridges
Yellow
Other click to print in Black.
I have cleaned each cartridge pins wiht distilled water on a qtip, I have put the printer through cleaning cycles, but I still get the message about the yellow cartridge.
Can anyone help me with this?

Figures, as you are the first to read my question. I guess I will take it back to Best Buy since I purchased the extended warranty and get a new printer. I can't do without the color. I will have to return the new cartridges I just purchased from HP too.

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!
