red began not printing so I replaced the cartridge in my HP Officejet Pro All in One 8500 series printer. So I replaced the cartridge (even though it wasn't empty yet - but close). The other colors are prints (and also needed replacing) but now my red won't print. If I let the printer sit for a bit it may print a little red for the first few lines but after that it loses the red all together.
WHY??!!!

Hi charttonj, sorry to hear that you are having issue's with printing red. Are you by chance using refilled ink or Genuine HP ink cartridges? Refilled ink can cause issues with the printer. Here is a document that I think will help you with this issue. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01980797
If you are still having issue's ,please feel free to write back and I will do more research for you.
