Printing only in red

my printer hp 3520 printing only in red colour, i have changed all the inks cartridges, it's a new one what sould i do?????

Before you try anything, try rebooting the printer. 
1) Turn it off
2) Physically unplug it from the wall/power strip.
3) Hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds (use your watch)  [certain control circuits are energized even with "power off" - this drains them.  [Also works for desktops & laptops --  laptops remove the battery as well as unplugging the charger)
4) plug it back in and power on.
Now, try printing a test page from the printer's control panel (work thru setup / print reports, etc.).
If that page is all red (or not perfectly normal for a new printer) it is probably a printer problem.  If it is OK - could be a settings problem on your computer's printer page.

  • Officejet Pro 8500 prints only red

    In the middle of a job, my Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer started printing only red. Now it does this every time, No cartridges are empty. Test pages are OK, but pages sent from websites, e-mails, etc, are just red. Any ideas?

    Hi drbob31,
    I see that you're having print quality issues.  I would take a look at the document below.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus - By passing expired Color Cartridges to print only in Black printing.

    Hi,
    Problem:
    fIt seems that this model of printer has a built in protocol which makes the printer inoperable if any of the colour cartridges are past their expiry date. Attempts to print solely in black are also being prevented because of this.
    Does anybody know how permit black printing only without the need to replace colour cartridges rarely used.
    Apple Mac PCs and laptops are connected to the printer wirelessly.
    I look forward to any info which rids me of this frustrating problem.

    Hello popkc, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are looking into ink options.  Due to the design of the printer, it does require functional ink as to not cause damage to the print system.  There is no way to override this.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Since my printer only prints in black, how do I get all the print on the screen to change to black?

    My color printer prints ONLY in BLACK. The screen I want to print is printed on the monitor in blue and red. How can I make all the print black on the monitor so it will print black on my printer?

    Explore the settings for you printer to see if there is a setting for "gray-scale" to un-check so that you do not get the gray when printing the blue or red text that shows on your monitor. You can click Print, then click Properties on the Print screen to see if you can change it; while there, look to see if there is an option to use the black cartridge only if that is what you want to do. On my printer, making the change there was only temporary and I had to do it through the software that came with my HP printer to make it permanent. Your printer manual would be a place to look also.

  • Print only in black ink

    HP Photosmart D7100 Printer series.podoshli the end of the yellow and red ink, but you need very urgently to print a document. have the opportunity to transfer print only the black cartridge?

    Bob, thanks for confirming what HP says the printer does and doesn't do. If however, I want to print in pure black, which appears to be an option provided by the printer, does the printer require the use, rather than the presence, of colour ink to print? HP says colour ink will be drawn by the printer when the level of black ink is low but my black ink is half full and I still can't print in black only. Why would any company make a printer whose printheads will be damaged due to the absence of ink in cartridges which are not used in a printing job? I just do not understand. Has HP told consumers in its manuals or on its website the fact that black only printing is not possible without the use or presence of colour ink in these printers?
    First, I do not work for or speak for HP, I am simply explaining how printers with separate printheads and ink supplies work.  The printheads require fresh ink in each color to prevent clogging of the printheads. The printhead assembly contains both the black and color printheads.  Consider a print job that is going to print only black.  The color printheads are still being waved about in the air and will dry out and clog unless they are serviced during and after the printing has completed.  This servicing requires ink because that is the only fluid available for the printheads.  If printing were allowed without any color ink available for servicing the printheads could become clogged to an extent that they require (expensive) replacement. Every company that uses fixed or semipermanant inkjet printheads has similar constraints.  
    If you need a printer that will allow printing with one or more colors empty or removed then get a printer with the printheads included with the ink supplies.  On these devices the printhead is replaced with each new cartridge so it is possible to print with one or more colors missing without risking damage to the printer.

  • Hot pink printing out as red?

    I am running Illustrator CC version 17.1 on Windows 7 professional.    I designed some patterns using hot pink (CMYK 0/95/20/0) and when I export to JPG they print out as red.  When I export I'm changing it to RGB.  I think I read online that you can't print hot pink using CMYK or RGB because it's outside the gamut of those colors.   If that's the case, how do I get hot pink?

    HI Ann,
    First off, when you exported to JPG did it look correct? Are you printing only from Illustrator?
    Which printer are you printing to? If printing from Illustrator. In the print dialog box. Are you selecting Illustrator to determine the colors or the printer?
    If your printer is a CMYK printer. Then you would not need to change the colors to RGB. Try printing directly from Illustrator as CMYK.
    If you can provide details of which printer that you are using and which app that you are printing from. That would help.
    Thanks

  • Why cant I highlight part of a document and print only what is selected in safari?

    Why is it not possible to highlight and print the selection in Safari, thought the imac was supposed to do everything,  WRONG.
    I also have I.pad 2 and because it does not support adobe flash, I cannot open a magazine that I have each week, I have to do this on the imac, so when away from home it again doesnt do what I want it to.  Does everything people say.  WRONG AGAIN.
    Should have stuck with the laptop, it actually does do these things mentioned above.

    I purchased the iPad first and waited a year HOPING Apple would fix this problem OR at the least provide something comparable to WINDOWS!
    WRONG....and yes it is hard to believe for how ADVANCED Apple is.....that they don't have a simple easy program that allows you to HIGHLIGHT and PRINT ONLY what you highlight!
    But....they are making leaps and bounds.....at least you can now cut & paste....thats a good thing!?
    HOPEFULLY.......in the VERY,VERY NEAR FUTURE Apple will supply us with the simple software to do these simple time saving chores!
    (highlight and print ONLY what you highlight)
    Until then we have to cut and paste to several different apps or programs....hoping it will allow you to print ONLY WHAT THE USER WANTS TO PRINT!

  • How can I print ONLY the active document?

    Whenever I go to File/Print the darn PSE 9 program sends all of the working files in the bin to the printer. I've searched online for 2 hours now looking for an answer.
    I like to work with having several to many files in the 'bin' and prefer to only print the active file I'm currently working on without having to close the 'working files' before I can print. How can I print ONLY the active document or file in the project bin? Please help, I've upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 9 and really like the updated features, but this one pain in the neck default is getting the best of me.

    Thanks for your help, that works nicely. It is good to have control of the printer again.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier prints only in black/MAC USER & won't align?

    PROBLEM # 1) I've replaced all my ink cartridges, but can't find out why my printer is now only printing in black? I'm a MAC user, so I want to print in color, and am trying to find instructions for a MAC on how to get back to printing in color?
    ACTION TAKEN #1
    UPDATE: I've done a three level cleaning of the printer heads, which DOES print in color and each color block now looks great.  The printer heads were not printing any color blocks, but the pink color block,  until the first third level cleaning. I then cleaned the printer heads a second time all the way through the third level.
    RESULT: However when I print from any document/web page my printer only still prints in black & white after these two printer adjustments double three stage printer cartridge claening?
     ACTION TAKEN #2
    I found this very detailed report and video on cleaning printer heads, alignment issues, and calibrate line feeds;
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01624398&lc=en&product=3964986&tmp...
    The Print Quality Diagnostics Page looks perfect (including the alignment section)  in all 3 test patterns, and again prints in color. 
    RESULT: However, my printer still will not print in color after trying all these steps?
    IPROBLEM #2)I  've also tried a align printer which also prints in color,  but states, "alignment failed see documentation manual"? To make the situation more complicated the alignment page looks perfect  and prints in color before the error message displays. 
    After puling the power cord  twice while ON  and wiating 20 seconds, as discussed in the above link. my printer "won't remove the, "align  error message see diagnostics manual".
    RESULT: Printer "won't remove the, "align  error message see diagnostics manual", even though the Printer Diagnostic Pages looks great, and the alignment page as well.
    I'm operating a lastest version Macbook Air laptop OS X 10.9.4. I have not upgraded to a new operating system since this problem started a week ago, and Ive owned this HP Printer for 2 years. 
    UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED. Well you can imagine when I say that I spent about 2 hours on this yesterday that yea he's right. This took a long time to research and try all these solutions. I told my wife about the issue and had her try:
    ACTION TAKEN #3: Print a page from a second computer. Windows laptop printed a colored page from a web site.  
    SOLUTION: (Printing only in Black Color): Wife literally solved the problem in 3 minutes! 
    Look below at the presets drop-down arrow tab, which is right below the printer name: You will see PLAIN PAPER, FAST DRAFT, BLACK AN(D WHITE). I'm not sure how I checked this, but this is how you can print only in black ink. NOTE: I looked at dozens of answers across the web, and didn't find this info anywhere else!
    This screen shot show you what the setting should be if you want to print in fast draft mode to use the least amount of color ink. 

    Hi monkplayer,
    It looks like your problem is solved? There wasn't a problem with the printer itself, just the printer settings on your Mac?
    This is good information though. We don't always have detailed solutions for customers that are using Safari, since it is hard to write instructions for the general public with specific steps for each operating system.
    Best of luck,

  • Printing only in B&W

    Hello,
    When printing remotely through my Apple Express (version 6.3) it no longer conveys the color signal to my HP printer, only the black and white. It doesn't seem to be a printer or computer issue, as they work fine when connected directly through the USB.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Header Details to be Printed only for the line item details.

    Hi All,
    I have the following requirement.
    I have Page1 with the Logo, Header Window, Vendor Window, Send Invoice To, Delivere Invoice To and Main Window. Main Window Starts from the middle of the page. In the Page2 i have Logo, Header window and Main Window. In the Page3 i have only Main Window.
    In the Footer of the Main Window i have Placed the Terms and conditions which should always be Printed in the New Page. So in the footer i have given a command "Go to New Page " and given the page as Page3.
    The requirement is Logo,and Header Window should appear only for the Line items and not for the Terms and conditions.
    For the Page1 i have given the Next Page as Page2. Suppose if there is only one line item then it Prints in the first Page itslef and the control flows to the Page2 and since in the page2 i have given the condition for the Logo and header window to print only if line item is more than 1 and since Main Window is starting from the middle there is a blank Space appearing in the start of the page.
    The command i have given in the footer to trigger new page that is page3 is not getting triggered. If there are more than one line item then its printing the logo and header window and so there is no blank space appearing and it is working fine.
    Please let me know how to avoid this blank space and move my main window to the start of the Page if there is only one line item.
    Thank you.

    Dear Vasudha,
    I am a little bit confused regarding your query,
    "In the Footer of the Main Window i have Placed the Terms and conditions which should always be Printed in the New Page. So in the footer i have given a command "Go to New Page " and given the page as Page3. "
    When you say footer of main window does it mean , that you are using a table inside your main window and the command node your have inserted is in the footer of the table ?.I hope it is, because my suggestion is based on this assumption.
    Well my suggestion for your issue is,
    1.I  hope you are aware we can trigger a next page in two ways, one by setting the next page static attribute & second using  the command node which you have used.In your case you will have to use a combination of both.
    2.I feel your First page design is ok. Set its static next page attribute to PAGE2. Similarly set the static next page attribute for PAGE2 as PAGE2 itself. This should take care of your table which you have placed in the main window. If the table contains only one lineitem it will get over in the first page itself. If the lineitems are more in the table, it will automatically triggerPAGE2 (since static next page attribute for PAGE1 is PAGE2)  and the remaining line items will be displayed. Now no matter how many lineitems you have ,PAGE2 will be triggered repeatedly(since static next page for PAGE2 is PAGE2 itself) until the entire data in your table is displayed.
    In this way your requirement of printing the logo and header windows for the data lineitems only will be fulfilled.
    3.Now the last catch in your case is the printing of PAGE3(The terms and condition page) on an entirely new blank page.
       In the footer section of the table which you have used,  use a command node set to PAGE3.  After the command node and under the same  footer section now insert your terms and condition lineitem.
    Also Check the "at End of table" checkbox and uncheck " AT PAGE BREAK" under OUTPUT OPTIONS tab for the footer section.
    So now this footer section will be triggered only once after all the data in the table is displayed
    4. So now if there is only one lineitem, before the default second page is triggered the command node will trigger the PAGE3 and the terms and condition will be displayed.Else if there are more lineitems the page2 will be triggered again and again and finally when all the lineitems are over, the footer of the table will get triggered. So the command node will take you to the PAGE3 wherin the terms and condition will only be displayed.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Riju

    One of my standard answers (which will explain the use of Directory Objects)...
    The UTL_FILE_DIR parameter has been deprecated by oracle in favour of direcory objects because of it's security problems.
    The correct thing to do is to create a directory object e.g.:
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY mydir AS 'c:\myfiles';Note: This does not create the directory on the file system. You have to do that yourself and ensure that oracle has permission to read/write to that file system directory.
    Then, grant permission to the users who require access e.g....
    GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY mydir TO myuser;Then use that directory object inside your FOPEN statement e.g.
    fh := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYDIR', 'myfile.txt', 'r');Note: You MUST specify the directory object name in quotes and in UPPER case for this to work as it is a string that is referring to a database object name which will have been stored in uppercase by default.

  • I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing?  The print quality report is fine in color etc.

    I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white. 
    The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
    Is there a color button I am missing?

    In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
    Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
    Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

  • How do you print only the first ten rows in a table?

    Hi everyone:
    I am trying to print only the first ten records by using <?for-each: <group name>?> and <?end for-each?>. Is there any stop tag that I could use to stop printing after the printing the first ten records without modify the XML data file? I am using XMLP Desktop 5.6.2. Thanks for your help!

    You are right kkretser. However, if your report have 2 or more layouts pages. You may want to output the necessary records to each page like the first 10 records to the first page the next the to the second page. Like you said I figure out now that you can use <?if:position()<10?> print out the rows and then on the second page layout, you can do <?if:position()>=10?>. Thanks to all of your replys, guys!
