@Ed163d, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
If your HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e All-in-One Printer is having trouble printing blue and green colors even with new ink cartridges, consider the following steps:
Check Ink Levels and Compatibility:
- Ensure that the ink cartridges are properly installed and compatible with your printer model.
- Verify that the ink cartridges are not empty or nearly empty, even if they are new. Sometimes, cartridges can be defective.
Run Printhead Cleaning:
- Access the printer's maintenance menu from the control panel and run a printhead cleaning cycle. This can help resolve issues with color printing by clearing any clogs.
Align the Printhead:
- Perform a printhead alignment using the printer's control panel settings. This can improve print quality and ensure colors print correctly.
Check for Clogs:
- Visually inspect the printhead for any visible clogs and clean them gently, if required. Use a lint-free cloth and distilled water if manual cleaning is necessary.
Software and Driver Updates:
- Make sure you have the latest printer drivers and software installed on your computer. Visit the HP website to download updates.
Print Quality Diagnostic:
- Print a diagnostics page to determine if there is an issue with specific colors. This can help identify whether a specific color is not dispensing ink.
Firmware Update:
- Check and update the printer’s firmware. Sometimes, firmware updates can resolve printing issues.
Also, you may refer to this guide: HP OfficeJet 6900, 8010, 8020, 8030 printers - No black ink, wrong colors, other print quality issue...
I hope this helps.
