My Photoosmart C4180 all in one printer will not print in color but will print in black. What can I do to fix this?

Hi @janetrhymer456 , and thanks for contacting the HP Forums!

 

I'd be happy to help, but I do need some information first.  Are you using Mac or Windows? What version of the Mac or Windows software are you using?  Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

 

Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

 

Also, can you make a copy in color, or does it come out blank as well?

I have the Dell c1660 color printer v 1.4.  I use a Mac Version 10.9.5  Build 13F34

 

I am able to print, but it's printing in a gray scale like look.  I replaced cartridges recently and my ink supply levels are good.  When I printed a color test page (from the printer), the color worked fine, but the black ink came out gray.  When I print from Word or Preview, the black comes out as gray too.  I replaced the black toner cartridge and still have the problem.

 

Ideas?

Hi Mrs108 ,

 

If you're using a Dell printer, I'd recommend contacting Dell to help resolve this issue.

Hi Robert, welcome to the Forums.


If you make a color copy as opposed to a print, does the same issue occur?
