Hi @NotJJ,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you're experiencing issues with color printing on your HP6830 printer after replacing cartridges and performing a head cleaning, there could be several potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can take.

• Check Cartridge Installation: Ensure that the new OEM cartridges are properly installed. Make sure they are securely inserted into the correct slots and that any protective tapes or seals have been removed.
• Verify Ink Levels: Confirm that the ink levels are sufficient in the new cartridges. Sometimes cartridges may appear full but could be defective or not properly recognized by the printer.
• Perform Additional Cleaning: If the initial head cleaning didn't resolve the issue, try performing another level of cleaning through the printer's maintenance menu. Sometimes multiple cleaning cycles are necessary to clear any clogs or obstructions in the printhead.
• Check Printer Settings: Make sure that the printer settings are configured correctly for color printing. Ensure that the color printing option is selected and that any grayscale or black-and-white settings are disabled.
• Update Printer Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer model. Sometimes firmware updates can address printing issues and improve compatibility with new cartridges.
• Inspect Printhead: Inspect the printhead for any signs of damage or clogs. If you notice any debris or buildup on the printhead, carefully clean it using a lint-free cloth and printhead cleaning solution recommended by HP.
• Try Different Cartridges: If possible, try using a different set of OEM cartridges to rule out the possibility of a defective cartridge causing the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the color printing issue on your HP6830 printer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
