@sk_45, Welcome to HP Support Community!

  • Are you able to make photocopies on the printer?
  • Which application are you trying to print from?
  • Did you check the ink levels on the printer?

Keep me posted for further assistance.

Follow steps 4 and 5 from the document HP Photosmart C6100 All-in-One Series - Wrong Colors.

 

If the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Hope this helps!
