Hi @cookie-66,
Good Day. Thank you for posting your query in the HP community. I read the post regarding issues with not able to print in color after replacing the cartridges. I will be delighted to assist you here.
Superb description and commendable diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂
For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:
- Did you reset the Mac printing system and add the printer?
For now, try these steps:
- Please reset Mac printing system from this link: http://hp.care/2gOrf2g
Then add the printer by following these steps:
1.) Click the Apple menu icon, and then click System Preferences.
2.) Click Printers and Scanners, Print and Scan, or Print and Fax.
3.) In the Printers list, click your HP printer, and then click the Minus button to delete it.
4.) Click the Add button.
5.) Find, and then select the name of your printer from the Printer list, and then click Add to add your printer. Do not select an HP Fax driver.
6.) Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer.
7.). Select only the HP printer driver and nothing else for now. Once the correct HP driver is chosen, select Add to add the printer to the list.
8.) Try to print.
This should do the trick for you.
Please perform all these steps patiently as it is critical to resolving the issue. The trick is to remain patient. Going by your technical expertise and competence I am sure you will be able to perform these steps without breaking a sweat.
Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. To simply say thanks, please click the "Thumbs Up" button to give me a Kudos to appreciate my efforts to help. If this helps, please mark this as “Accepted Solution” as it will help several others with the same issue to get it resolved without hassles.
Take care and have a blessed week ahead. 🙂
Cheers!
