@TK333, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

If your HP DeskJet 4155e has a flashing orange light, and you've replaced both cartridges with full ones, yet it's only printing in black and blue, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:

 

Ensure Proper Installation:

  • Check if the cartridges are installed correctly. Remove and then reinsert them securely into the printer. Make sure you hear a click, indicating they are seated properly.

Cartridge Compatibility:

  • Verify that you are using the correct HP cartridges for your printer model. Using incompatible cartridges can cause errors.

Perform a Printer Reset

  1. Power Reset:
    • Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
    • Wait about one minute, then plug the power cord back in and turn on the printer.

Check Printer Settings

Verify Print Settings:

  • In the printer properties, ensure that the print settings are configured to use both color and black ink.

Additional Troubleshooting

Clean Printhead:

  • If the color ink is not printing correctly, clean the printhead using the printer's maintenance settings. Ensure that ink nozzles are not clogged.

Print a Test Page:

  • Print a test page to see if all colors print properly. If color ink still doesn't print, it may be due to a malfunctioning cartridge.

Also, refer to this guide for further troubleshooting: HP DeskJet 2700, 4100, 4800 printers - Blinking lights and error codes | HP® Support
