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

lift the hood and see if its there, if not try the documentation that came with the printer. if you don't have one , go to HP and click on support. there should be an on line manual that will show you.

not sure what kind of printer you have, but some printers have a refresh button, try that.

YOU ARE HAVING "SPOOL" PROBLEMS.\n\nMost of the time, you can reinstall the Drivers. ( The Disk) that came with it.\n\nYou might do a uninstall first, just to avoid any other issues. \n If you have only 1 printer, delete anyother printer programs you have, they may be conflicting.\n\n\nGood Luck.

Try re-installing the printer driver then, fix your settings. It should work well this time, else consider virus scan for your system; if that does not work, re-install your operating system.

Run through the cleaning process in maintenance. If this doesn't work & inks do not need replacing, you may have a problem with your print head. I had to change the print head in my printer when it started printing badly. It was just worn out.

Assuming you put some more paper in the tray, check the print spool queue to see if you need to restart the job that was intrerrupted.\n\nYou should be able to click on the little icon of a printer at the bottom right of your screen.

Make sure you have a color printer defined and set as default printer in excel. Wierd, I know!

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.

First, be sure to un-install all the old drivers and programs installed originally with the printer.  Then download and install the latest drivers for the printer.  Then, plug it into a different USB port than the one used before.  Usually works.

Check the drivers first, then test the cable.You could also try installing the printer on someone else's computer. I have yet to find any answers in Windows help.

I suggest you replace the printer since it is obsolete. Printers have come way down in cost.

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.

First make sure there is any ink coming out of the cartridge.  Dab it on a moist paper towel to see if you get the three colors.  If you do, then try completely resetting your printer.  Turn off your printer, unplug it and then leave it that way for at least a minute.  This clears the memory so that it shouldn't think you are still using the same empty cartridge.  \n\nIf these don't work, there is a chance that you just have to get another cartridge.  If the print head (the shiny copper portion) is scratched or damaged in any way, then your printer won't be able to read the cartridge.

This sounds as if you have connected the printer, but have not loaded the drivers.  Or, you have replaced your printer and have not set it as the default printer.  \n\nTry going to your application's printer set up.  You should have the option to select the default printer as your new one.\n\nI hope this helps.

Same thing happened to me. Go to epson.com, find your printer model, and you can download the driver to install it.

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.
