HP smart tank 450
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a new HP smart tank 450 and after a few days of using without problemes, yesterday it started to print faulty.

Whenever there is a color to print, besides that color it always prints yellow. I mean, if i have a blue circle to print, the printer prints it green, because it prints it blue and yellw above. And this happens with every color. I have tried to do all de maintenance procedures and it keeps the same. This doesn't happen with the black color.

What can i do to fix this, as HP doesn't have a working contact line?

 

Thank you

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

How do the copies look?

 

Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page:

 

Press and hold the Start Copy Color button  on the printer control panel for 3 seconds to print a Print Quality Diagnostic page.

 

Let me know how this report looks.

 

Make sure you've performed all the steps from here: https://support.hp.com/in-en/product/hp-smart-tank-wireless-450-series/16180959/document/c05583255

Hello,

 

I have followed every steps to try and fix the problem, however it continues.

I have attached the Print Quality Diagnostic page. Check the yellow arround every colour print (the cian turns green, for example.

I can´t solve this. 

I bought the printer only a few days ago.

I await for any reply.

Thank You
