Or if you haven't printed in color for a while, the nozzles (or whatever) may have dried out.  Try running the "cleaning" routine on your printer -- usually available by right-clicking on the printer and selecting 'Properties'.

To answer your question, let me tell you the Basics.\n\nPrinter uses Black cartridge and Color cartridge\nColor cartridge normally contains 3 colors namely Cyan, Magenta & Yellow\n(Few models of printer has separate Cyan Cartridge, Magenta Cartridge and yellow Cartridge)\nThese 3 Colors are sprayed with different concentration of colors on the media (paper) like dots (very very tiny dots) by the printer at precise distance.  And these colors at different concentration gives you the illusion of different colors. \nCheck this link which gives you how this works exactly\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_Toning\n\nHope the info was helpful!!!

Most likely the printers internal equipment is dirty, or clogged.\n\n1) Right-click on your Epson Stylus icon, and go to "Properties"\n\n2) Find the tab for the "Printing Defaults" link\n\n3) Click on the "Utility" tab\n\n4) Perform the following procedures:\n\n * Nozzle Check"\n * Head Cleaning\n * Print Head Alignment\n\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nIf for some reason these steps do not work, it could be that the ink has dried out and the ink cartridge needs to be replaced.\n\nHope this helps.

The black is a piment, however there is nothing available in the colour cartridges.

Well, the answer is a merge of the previous answers:\n- could be due to incompatible drivers with the Operating System\nSo, simply either open the HP homepage and search for the Printer Model and download the drivers corresponding with your OS, or use the Microsoft Online Update and update the Hardware Drivers;\n\n- could be requiring alignment\nin other words, configure the printer...tell it that these are the proper colors and these are the proper lines you would like to view when printing any page [its normally known as the test page]

It depends on your printer. Presumably this is an ink-jet? Also, is it the type that has only ONE cartridge, so that your choice is the color cartridge or the black, but you have to swap them out?\n\nTypically, unless you've got the type of printer that has separate cartridges for EACH color, you've got three primary colors in one color cartridge, and the printer blends those together to get the various colors. If everything is red, then you're out of yellow and blue ink, and the only way to rectify that is to replace the whole cartridge.\n\nIf, however, your printer does have black and color cartridges in the printer at the same time, and your text is coming out red, then there may be a software issue, and the first thing I would try is to install the very latest printer drivers from your printer manufacturer's website.

Go into your control panel and click on printers...check to make sure that your default printer isn't "Print to a Fax File"...the default is the one with the check mark on it. If your printer isn't the one checked...right click it and select "Use as Default" That should fix it :)

thereis dry ink in print heads of your printer, i guarantee thats the problem (that is assuming your printer is ok, and you have installed cartridge correctly).\n\nclick Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Printers (and Faxes). right click on the icon with your printer name. click properties. look for a tab that say "tools" or "utilities" or "service" or something similar. there usially in a "clean print heads" (or something with the same meaning) button in it. insert paper into your printer and click that button. you might have to try in a couple of times.\n\nthe only other problems i can think of that would produce this result would be (1) cartridge is not instaled correctly (2) there's something wrong with the printer (3) bad cartridge. in this order of probabilty.\n\ngood luck

Restart your computer with your printer already on. If that doesn't work, re-install your printer drivers, be sure to follow the directions exactly.

try to re-install the driver. if it is not working, try the print test page and printer maintenance menu. if it's not working... just claim the guarantee

The blue and yellow ink might have been finished.So, only pink(no other option for the printer) color is being used instead of all colors.Get a new Ink Catridge.\n\nCoz all the colors are made from 3 basic colors..so basically there are three basic color outlets in an Ink catridge of a colored printer.\nThus if two most used colors get exhausted, you get everything in the third one.

That is you ink light.   Look at your ink monitor and see which cartridge is registering as empty.\n\nReplace that cartridge.\n\nProblem Solved.

Not an easy question to answer.You have not said what is wrong with it. It could be anything ?  \nWill it print OK?    Have you any lights flashing ?  Will it print a test page ok?   Have you an empty ink cartridge ?\nSomeone might be able to answer your question if you give us more details

Funny thing, you have to tell a lexmark that you have installed a new cartridge.   Consult you manual.  It is usually in the printer tool box or utility menu.

Some print cartridges have an embedded chip that communicates with the printer to advise ink levels. When you buy from aftermarket suppliers (especially refillers) they may not support these.
