Photosmart 7525 not printing in color

photosmart 7525 won't print in color .
No matter what device I'm sending from or method I use to send to printer, the print only comes out in black and white.

Hello Pneumatic,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you Photosmart 7525 will only print black and white images. Would it be possible to upload an image of this printing result?
Also, if you print a Printer Quality Report, will color print? Touch Setup>Tools> Printer Quality Report. Could you also upload an image of that report too?
Cheers,
JERENDS

  • HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

    My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper.  This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers...  By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum).  When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
    I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper.  Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good).  The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.  My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink.  This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

  • HP Photosmart 7525 not printing color correctly

    HP Photosmart 7525 will not print color from any application.
    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Grayscale is not on.
    Tried printing with discolored background correction
    Tried each of the color management options separately from discolored background correction and combined with it.
    Replaced the ink, and the result was worse!
    The quality report shows no color ink whatsoever, and from the display, it looks like the printer believes it has no color ink left.

    Attempted to clean cartridges and align the printer through the display pad: no luck.

  • Hp photosmart 7525 not printing since upgrade to windows 10

    Unable to print since upgrading to Windows 10.I've deleted the printer and reinstalled the driver to no avail.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting! :cathappy: I'd like to help you get your HP Photosmart 7525 e-All-in-One printer up and running on your new Windows 10 operating system. You've mentioned that you already tried installing the drivers from the HP website. If the Windows 10 driver that you have downloaded does not work, I'd recommend trying the Windows 8.1 driver (the operating systems have the same core functionality, so the Windows 8.1 driver works fine on Windows 10). You can also try uninstalling the software you do have, and re-installing using the HP Printer Install Wizard. The Printer Install Wizard, can fix many software issues automatically. Hope this helps!

  • HP Photosmart C5180 not printing in color

    I recently replaced my old IMac with a new one, running OS X 10.9.4.  Now my HP Photosmart C5180 will no longer print in color.  I have no options to change from color to black and white and I can no longer access supply levels.  The latest software for the printer was uploaded the day I connected the printer to the computer.  Is there a fix for this or do I have to bite the bullet and buy a new printer?

    Here is the Print menu that I get - no color matching option available.  I used to be able to chose from several Presets - now the only thing that shows up in that drop-down menu is "Default" or "Last Used Settings".

  • Photosmart C6280 not printing color/both sides with Mac

    Hello HP Community,
    I have a Macbook Pro running iOS X 10.9.2 and a AIO Photosmart C6280. I am have downloaded the printing/scanning software and drivers. Everything installed without problem. I have also scanned with no problem. However, no matter what program I am trying to print from on my Macbook, the printer will not print in color and also will not print on both sides - even when the double sided feature is checked off. 
    I have been to all the discussion forums of relevance and can't find anyone with my same problem. Those that have similar problems, are running different versions of iOS and the steps suggested they take are not possible with this version. Please Help!

    Hello HP_USER,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you're unable to print in color from you Mac 10.9.2. I will try to help you with this.
    Have you tried making a color copy from the printer? If not please do so, this is to see if the printer is having the issue stand alone.
    I would also recommend looking at these documents:
    Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
    Wrong Colors
    As for it not duplexing, according to the User's Guide, this printer doesn't duplex as in it doesn't have a duplexer. If you are manual duplexing that would be slightly different, as it requires you to be flipping the page after the first side has come out. This document can assist you with that: Print on Both Sides of the Paper (Manual Duplexing)
    I hope this helps you out, thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.

    My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.All ink levels are good. Factory defaults clicked. Did I override something without realizing it? I don't see anywhere to click for grayscale. I am using an APPLE AIR....I have also turned the printer off and on again..

    Hi there @Ashley31 , welcome to the forums
    I read about how you cannot print or copy in color. Not copying in color is concerning, as the copy is a stand alone function that does not involve the computer in any way.
    I'd suggest power resetting the printer:
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    You can also remove the ink cartridges and reinsert them and try a color copy again to see if that helps.
    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, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

  • Photosmart c4780 will not print in color

    Brand new to forums... I am using a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8. I recently bought a used photosmart c4780. The owner said it only prints black. When I set everything up, it wouldn't print at all, as the black ink was depleted. I replaced the black cartridge and now it prints. However, even though the color supply levels are at about half full, it will not print in colorI receive no error messages. Have tried different settings in the Print dialog options to no avail. Have not been able to find anything online that addresses this exact issue within the parameters as I've described them. Any help appreciated.

  • HP Photosmart C5180 not printing color

    My HP printer will not print in color when using various programs (iCal, Entourage, MS Word, etc.). It will however print in color when you are in system preferences and print a test page. I have it plugged into the ethernet on an Airport Express. I installed Snow Leopard last week and that is when the color stopped. I have unplugged the Airport Express, turned off the printer, turned everything on but still now luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Robert:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I suggest you delete the printer, restart, and then add it back.

    Hi @Mtimmer 
    I see you are having troubles with your black ink.
    Please ensure you have completed all of the steps in the following document; Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages. Although I hope this resolves the issue, it might not. As you have a 6520, If the issue persists, I would suggest calling HP Phone Support even though the printer may be out of warranty as you may require a replacement printer. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide. 
    Please let me know if the document resolves the issue, or if you called HP and the outcome of the call. Thanks.

    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!
