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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
