Hi

My printer suddenly stopped printing in color.  I switched to a brand new color cartridge - and it still just prints in black & white.  Last time I printed, it had no problem printing in color. 

 

I don't really have a screen on this printer to help me troubleshoot.  Can someone help me?

 

Or preferably I'd like to talk to HP Customer Support directly.  My printer is not longer under warranty.

First - how do I check the ink levels on my cartridges?

 

Thank you

I decided to fool around with the 'settings' in the print menu.  Everything looked right to me - but - the computer name gave me 2 choices - 1) HP ENVY 6000 series - which IS the name of my printer!!!  Then I scrolled down to see what else was there; and below is it said "Trudi's Printer" which I remember calling my OLD printer.

 

However, I switched it to that option and sure enough it printed my image in color.  I don't know why it worked - it just did.
