It is not at all unusual for colors to appear different when printing on differing paper types. Your problem would appear to be an over saturation effect which alters the purity of the color tones. I'd suggest that you refer to information found under the heading "Change the saturation, brightness, or color tone" found on page 58 of the online user manual for your printer which is found at the following link:

just leave your paper type as Plain Paper,
and if your printing out a 5R size photo or photo sizes not exceed on Letter size paper, just leave the paper sizes using Letter,
print on both sides set as OFF.
then just customize the printing quality for a good printing result.
then load or place your photo paper properly on the paper tray to avoid jam.

SOURCE: my hp deskjet 1280 will not print yellow

Hello, this is Harry from www.BusinessSpread.co.uk.
We had the exact same problem when printing, we used 3 different 78 colour ink cartages and they all said 100% full but did not work. We then had a look at the dates on the box and they were all expired so when buying ink from anywhere even PC world or Curry’s always look at the expiry date.
Today I went to PC world and purchased a new 78 ink which said expires July 2011 and it works perfectly fine.
Regards,

I CANNOT GET IT TO PRINT 6X4 PHOTOS FOR ME. IT KEEPS TELLING ME THAT I HAVE THE WRONG SIZE PAPER

The default setting for 6x4 photos is 100mmx150mm paper. If the machine does not detect paper that size or has not been told where to find it, the machine will report a paper fault. Refer to the manual on the CD that came with the machine esp Ch2 P14 and Ch4 P22 for help in this. If you don't have the CD you can download the manual from the Brother Website.

Hello, Jon.

There are some problems reported with the printer driver from the HP site, in case you obtained your drivers, there.

Go to the Apple website to obtain the driver and reinstall the driver.

Hope this helps.

Compatibles wont work

Try this:

The HP all-in-one product will print black copies using both the color and black cartridges to create composite black in Normal and Best modes. This is necessary to create the correct grayscale shades.
  1. The color cartridge may be out of one color of ink. Perform the steps in the 'Colors are not correct' section above to verify that the ink cartridges are not low on ink.
  2. Verify that the correct paper type is selected in the Paper Type setting.
  3. Some photo paper has different chemical characteristics than Hewlett-Packard paper. The HP all-in-one is designed for use with HP Premium and Premium Plus Photo Paper. The photo paper, paper-type setting should be used with HP Photo Paper. For other paper brands, it may be necessary to use the plain paper or premium Inkjet paper, paper-type settings.
OR: The ink cartage you have may be defective if is a refilled or recharged cartage.

Printing photos

its ok I solved it! I didn't realise that all the photo cartridge does is gloss over the colour picture produced by the colour cartridge. I simply had to replace the colour cartridge which had run out, so now its all working perfectly!!
