Just installed new cartridges as requested, now printing photos all yellow and green.

 

Not only have I aligned, cleaned and cleared smudges in toolbox, but I am wasting money on paper, instant ink allowance and ink!!!   

 

Anyone know how to solve this.... driving me mad.  I can print blue and black ok on A4, but not a photo on HP photo paper!

 

I have tried about 10 sheets and it doesnt even get any better!

 

Why is printing photos so difficult with HP printers? Fine with text and documents, but a cards and photos... grrrrh!

 

Help help help HP....please?

Sorry I have done all the steps in document and it didn’t help. Genuine cartridges as on HP instant ink, was working fine just before the new cartridges installed. No other hardware or software changes.
