Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

HP regularly releases firmware updates. Upgrading the firmware might resolve the issue.

  1. Make sure the Sprocket is on and your mobile device is connected to the Internet.

  2. On your mobile device, open the HP sprocket app.

  3. Tap the Menu icon , and then tap sprocket.

  4. Tap Manage Printers, make sure your Sprocket is selected, and then tap Printer Settings.

  5. Under the Status section, locate Battery.

    • If the battery charge is 25% or higher, continue with these steps.

    • If the battery charge is 24% or lower, charge the battery for at least 30 minutes, and then continue with these steps.

  6. In Printer Settings, look for a firmware upgrade.

    • If a firmware upgrade displays, tap Get Firmware Upgrade, and then follow the on-screen prompts to complete the update.

    • If a firmware upgrade option does not display, the firmware is up-to-date.

Send a print job.

 

If the issue persists, please perform the remaining steps from this document: https://support.hp.com/in-en/product/hp-sprocket-photo-printer/12635221/document/c05660842

Hi, this hasn’t helped. I bought the sprocket yesterday and updated it before i printed any photos. I have also done what it says to on the ‘improve print quality’ section and its made it worse its now pink with white lines on it

I have the same issue. Pictures look great in preview but print out all pink/sepia looking.

I have updated the firmware without any improvement.
