Hello, @vesko816

Thanks for reaching out! I'd be glad to be of your assistance 🙂

I understand that you are having difficulties while printing from your computer. To assist you with this issue, I need to know whether the printer can make a "Photocopy" or not.

Place a color document face down on the scanner glass and press the copy option on the printer control panel. Let me know if it makes a good copy or not.

If the color copy also comes out bad, then you can follow the steps mentioned here: http://hp.care/2cCanHt 

If the copy comes out good, then the printer hardware is fine. In which case, I would recommend you reinstall the drivers as suggested below:

• Unplug the USB cable from the printer and computer if present.
• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Deskjet printer entries and uninstall them.
• Restart your computer.
• Now click on http://hp.care/2d7MAly to download and install the printer drivers.
• Connect the USB cable if prompted and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.

Those steps should do the trick, let me know the outcome!

Good luck 🙂

Why is this thread marked "Solved"? There has been NO solution given for this problem. There are NO Windows 10 32-bit drivers listed at the link given above by

Dvortex. The HP F4180 printer I have is completely useless for printing color pages due to the

extremely wrong colors being output. Works fine in previous Windows versions. If the F4180 is effectively dead on Windows 10, then the fact should be acknowledged, and the runarounds being passed out should cease.
