Try going to printer property's, on the top selection bar select effects an untick the monochrome effect box if that does not work the put the printer make/ model number on as every printer has its own way of doing things .

SOURCE: Cannon pixma 610. Pink tint on colour prints

Normal 0 Could have a corrupt driver.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and when the CD software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

    SOURCE: How can I alter the print settings to get more

    For everyday printing you may find that "Quick Print" or "Draft" mode gives good-enough print quality and greatly reduces your ink consumption. In Windows click the preferences button in any print dialog. On Mac you look in the Print Settings pane of the expanded print dialog. If you don't mind small print, you can also try "n-up" printing that will squeeze two or more pages onto a single sheet of paper.

    SOURCE: printer wont print colours supply levels were ok but just installed new cartridges but still wont print colours. What to do????

    Make sure that you're using genuine Lexmark cartridges. If you are, try the steps below:

    - Update the firmware of your printer. Just go to http://bit.ly/ghfW8H to download the firmware update.
    - Perform a maintenance on the cartridges. To do that, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Maintenance > Deep Clean Printhead.

    If you still have the same problem after performing those steps, it could be a problem with the printhead. You might want to contact Lexmark's technical support.

    Canon pixma ip3600 blue colour cast

    I don't get true B&W but only 1/2 a Gnats knacker off it, if you send for a test print from say Ilford you'll notice that it's not B&W but a warm tone very slightly sepia.
    I use cheapo inks bought on eBay so none of the settings in software are of any use. I disable any attempt by the software to influence the printer and do the same in the printer settings window. I then alter the colours using the sliders in the Manual section of the colour/intensity to the colour that I see on my screen and save the setting in the profiles section.
    I use the iP3600 and have found it very good indeed, after lots of experiments I've settled on a sepia tone reminiscent of Sodium Sulphide but without the nasty smell.

    My new canon mg5200 printer prints washed out colours compared to what is on the page i am printing from. I have changed the print resolution to high and that has helped a small amount. Can you please tell...

    I think you will have to use the printer's "color management" to adjust the output to match what you see on the monitor screen. Go to Canon's website, it explains everything you need to alter the colour profile for your printer.

    Hi there, How do I set up my HP Colour Laserjet 2600n to print double sided automatically instead of having the alter the paper half way through! Thank you, Theresa

    From the application that you are trying to print, click Print and then Preferences. On the next window you will have Print on both sides, tick Flip on long edge and if your printer has duplex capability it will print both sides now.

    Dcp 115c printer

    Hi,


    The nozzle may be blocked. So take out the colour cartridge and place its nozzle in a bit of water for about 10 mins. Bring it out and dab the nozzle with folded paper. If the tissue is blotted with the three colour it means you have unblocked the nozzle. Try now to print after returning the colour cartridge. You may need to repeat to get good results.


    Thank you!!

    Won't Print x4650

    Hi
    Here are a few possibilities...
    1. Try cleaning the contacts on the inkjet cartridge and where they make contact inside the printer. (use cotton wool and Alchol) if that does not work...
    2. Pull out power cable from printer wait 1 MINUTE then insert cable and switch back on again. (some printers reset to factory settings)
    3. Remove printer cable from computer... Uninstall Printer driver from computer... Switch off both printer and computer. Wait 1 minute... Reconnect cables and switch on printer and computer... Allow computer to find printer reinstall driver.
    4. Try installing old cartridge to see if printer rejects that?
    5. You may have a faulty inkjet cartridge (return it to store if so)

    My colour cartridge ran out on my Z2390 and I replaced just the black cartridge now it wont print as it says I need to replace the color one

    Lexmark used remote access to sort the problem. Although I altered the setting on the print page to black and white it was defaulting back to the original settings. They changed this through my computer and the print settings ans now all is ok.

    My Xerox DocuPrint M750 printer will not print black text but will print colour

    This is just a suggestion. I recently bought a Staples refilled cartridge and had to return it because it did not work. When returning it the Staples Rep said that 50% of the cartridges do not work and get returned. This was an astounding amount I told the rep. Means nothing to him but to you, you may need to return the black cartridge if it is or is not a refill and try it out again. Let me know if that works.
