Hi there,

Printer won't print in color. Cartridge has plenty of color. 

All print quality diagnostic pages have no signs of color at all. Cleaned cartridge several times, not the slightest sign of any color print ink at all.

Black looks good.

What's wrong?

@Chirim0ya, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand the printer is not printing in color. I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve this issue by performing the necessary troubleshooting steps.

 

Update the printer firmware

Go to Setup > Tools > Update the printer.

 

This could be an issue with the color ink cartridge or the printhead of the printer. If you have tried the steps mentioned in this document and the issue persists, please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer. 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
