Hi @20571,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If your HP 8034 printer is printing yellow instead of red, even after replacing all the ink cartridges with new HP ink, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try.

• Check Ink Levels: Ensure that the red ink cartridge has enough ink and is properly installed. Sometimes, cartridges might not be seated correctly, leading to printing issues.
• Clean Print Heads: Run a print head cleaning cycle from your printer's software or control panel. This process can help clear any clogs or debris that might be affecting the color output.
• Align Cartridges: Perform a cartridge alignment through the printer's software. This ensures that the printer is properly calibrated for accurate color printing.
• Update Printer Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your HP 8034 printer. Sometimes, firmware updates can address printing issues and improve overall performance.
• Check Printer Settings: Make sure that the printer settings are configured correctly for color printing. Check both the printer settings on your computer and the settings on the printer itself.
• Test with Different Documents: Print a test page or try printing from a different document or application to see if the issue persists across different files.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with your HP 8034 printer printing yellow instead of red.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
