Hello,

 

Maybe someone could help me...

I changed the cartridges (yellow and blue) few days ago and now the printer prints only black and magenta.

 

I did printed a triel copy from the printer (not using the computer) and it is still will not print the blue and yellow

 

What is the problum and how could I fix it?

 

Thank you

Thanks for taking an interest in the HP Support Forums After reading your post I see that you replaced blue and yellow cartridge and both are not working. I will be a delight to assist you here.

Superb analysis and brilliant diagnosis of the issue before posting. 🙂  Kudos to you on that score.:)

 

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:

Did you vent and make sure the cartridges are seated properly

 

If not, Make sure the ink cartridges are properly vented and seated correctly

  1. Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already turned on.

  2. Open the ink cartridge access door.

    The carriage moves to the center of the printer.

    Open the cartridge access door
  3. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you continue.

  4. Press the tab inward on the front of the old ink cartridge to release it, and then pull up on the ink cartridge to remove it from the slot.

    Pushing the ink cartridge inward and then pulling up to remove it
  5. Examine the vent area above the HP logo on the top of the ink cartridge.

  6. If the ink cartridge still has the orange pull-tab attached, pull to remove it.

  7. If the vent is clogged, use a straight pin to gently remove excess adhesive from the vent.

    2. With a straight pin, gently remove excess adhesive from the vent

    3. Unclogged vent

  8. Turn the ink cartridge so that the cartridge contacts face downward, and then match the label color with the color dot on the carriage.

  9. Slide the ink cartridge into its slot, and then gently press the ink cartridge down until it snaps into place.

  10. Repeat these steps to inspect the vents on each of the ink cartridges.

  11. Make sure each ink cartridge is firmly installed in its slot. Run your finger along the top of the ink cartridges to feel for any that are protruding, and if any are, press down firmly until each ink cartridge snaps into place.

  12. Close the ink cartridge access door.

Try to print.

 

Clean the printhead

  1. On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setup icon .

  2. Swipe up on the display, and then touch Printer Maintenance.

  3. Touch Clean Printhead, and then touch Continue.

    A test page prints.

  4. Examine the test page.

    • If the print quality is unacceptable, touch Clean Again to continue the next level of cleaning. Repeat these steps for the third cleaning stage, if necessary.
