Product: HP ENVY Photo 6220
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan
Hello
My HP ENVY Photo 6220 is printing in black, and shades of red. No blue, green etc. It previously worked fine, I am not sure what has triggered the change.
I have taken the cartridges out and put them back in again, I have unplugged the printer, waited for 5 minutes, and plugged it back in again.
The printer is new, these are genuine cartridges and only the second set I have used.
Thank you
Rachel
