HP Ink Tank 410

Am having this strange problem with my printer. If I print the Print Quality Diagnostic sheet the black color looks good (see attached) but if I try to print something from any device or make a black/white photocopy, black is printed as green (see attached -  a photocopy of the Printer Quality Diagnostic - all green instead of Black).

Tanks are all full, Tried the cleaning procedures but problem persists - black is printing as green. Any idea why please?

@JasMic, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue. 

 

Let us try to update the printer firmware and see if that helps-

Download available firmware updates from the HP website. With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

 

Try printing or copying.

 

Keep me posted for further assistance.

I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve but this seems like a hardware issue.

 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Hope this helps!
