I have recently aquired the D7260 and it was working ok with a pc. Since I connected it to the mac, it won't print the magenta and light magenta. I have cleaned the heads.

Hi,

Please try printing a self test report from the printer:

 

  1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
  2. Touch the Setup icon on the display.
  3. Touch Tools .
  4. Touch Self-Test Report .
    The HP Photosmart prints a Self-Test report, which might indicate the source of the printing problem.
Can you see any of the colors as presented by the sample below?
Additionally, clarify your Mac OS X version.
You may find it by clicking the Apple icon and then About This Mac.

Has ANYONE resolved this issue yet regarding the HP D7260 suddenly stopping the printing of both magenta inks simultaneously after multiple replacement with fresh HP ink?  HELP!

HP Recommended

My HP Photosmart D7260 has just stopped printing both light and dark magenta. Cartridges are new and HP made. Has anyone found a way to fix this issue? This printer was working perfectly until now. PLEASE HELP!!!
