You need to clarify :
1. Your printer cannot print color even though it prints color well from a test page;
2. Your printer cannot print color in a test print page.

If it is the first one, then you have to set it properly in Window Print Configuration page of that printer;
If it is the second one, then you have to check whether you have installed the color ink cartridge properly in the printer. If the color ink cartridge is installed properly, try to replace another new color ink cartridge. Finally it is still not work, then you have to bring back to the repair center.

Hp photosmart won't print in color

Blocked print head nozzles
Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent blocked print head nozzles. You may have blocked print head nozzles.
Try the printer maintenance to clear the printer nozzles.
After several deep cleaning attempts and there is no improvements in the print then a new print head is required.
A new print head maybe expensive and it maybe more cost effective to purchase a new printer.

If you are certain that your printer online properties indicates color printing and you can get 'test print' in color (via Printer properties or Printer built-in menu), I would first check that your application is not overriding the default settings (e.g. such as proof/draft mode printing in mono or B&W) or try another application.

If no applications won't print in colors, I would try to re-install the Printer Drivers specific to your windows version.

Prints out blank pages, won't test print, new ink, cleaned multi-times, still blank!

Silly question from my side: have you removed the tape covering the nozzles of the cartridges? Is it original Brother cartridges, or is it compatibles?

  • Click Ok and return to the Properties
  • Go to Color Management Tab and check to see that it is set to Automatic.
  • Underneath that, you'll see "Color Profiles currently associated with this printer.
  • Look to see that the field is populated, if not click on ADD, and select each color profile that is available
  • Click apply, then OK

Turn the printer off, unplug the power from it, wait a couple of minutes, then plug power back to printer, then power it up.

My HP CP2025 printer will not print color text and color shading in Word. It prints color photos, pdfs, and paintbrush files, but will not print color in Word or Word Perfect.

I had this problem on Windows 7 64x.

The solution that finally worked for me:
1. Go to your Devices & Printers window. (from the Start menu)
2. Right-click on your HP CP2025 printer and select Printer Properties.
3. Select the Device Settings tab.
4. Scroll to the bottom where you see Device Type. It probably says "Auto Detect."
5. Click on the words "Auto Detect" to activate a drop-down menu. Select "Color". Click the Apply button.

To test if this fixes your color printing, go to the General tab and click the Print Test Page button at the bottom. The page should print the Windows logo in color at the top of the page (the rest of the page is b&w).

Note: I did not install any additional drivers from HP for this printer. Windows automatically detected it and installed HP's Universal Print Driver PCL 6.

Kudos to Ken from the HP forums for this knowledge: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-LaserJet/CP2025-Won-t-Print-in-Color/td-p/1151762
