My printer will no longer print colors. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting to no avail. I have tried to locate a solution through this forum from previous topics of the like, but nothing has worked. I’m at the point where I throw it in the trash and buy an epson. Please help me!

I should mention that the ink cartridges are brand new purchased from Office Max last weekend.

Thanks Asmita, but those are part of the many troubleshooting steps that I have already completed still not getting any color on a normal printout or the diagnostic page.

Appreciate you trying the steps @B-A-N-J-O

 

I'd suggest you Contact HP in your region regarding this issue. 

 

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.  

 

Have a great day!
