This is because the colour catridge might have finished.
for black and whicte printing you have separate catridge.colour catrige is a tri colour catridge which contains three colous in it.The blue colour might have finished. So please change your colour catrige and it wil ok.

Hi ,
While printing go to the printer settings nad check if any Black print option is clicked. Also check the color cartridge status.

Please check nozzle head pattern first. Is your print head pattern printed perfectly?. Be sure that the print head pattern is ok. No missing line or column. If your nozzle colour is not printed at all even just one point,check the print head or try to clean the print head.

try looking under the propertys page for the printer and see if its set to print black only or gray scale. if so set it to auto and you should be ok if the printer and cartrige is ok.

just follow the link and select you operating system. It has drivers and manual.

clean the heads

Try cleaning the contacts in the printer and cartrage.

Have you tried a new colour cartridge? This is a classic sign that the cartridge may be low on ink. When printing text, assuming you are printing black, it is likely that the black cart is doing most of the work so the gaps are insignificant. You could try printing text in several different colours. If the colour cartridge is low, you'll find that some colours may be ok but others may have gaps.

Best to try a new cart if you have one.

After you scan it, do you immediately print it in an image format or do you use word? If you use word i might have a tip that might help.

Before printing, click File>print>click on "Properties" and check that the grayscale printing box isn't marked, if it is unmark it and it'll print in colour.

Also anything is that, when you're scanning. After previewing your scanned piece, double check the mode, either magazine (which is in colour), Black and white or outline (i think)

That's all i have for now.
