My HP 2605dn will not print in color. I allowed the color cartridges to run out before I replaced them. Then when I put the new cartridges in I forgot to pull out the shipping tape. The tape is now removed, but still no color. The problem seems to be in the printer, as I see no color on the test page.

Here's a solution from Dell Technical Support hotline - just hit cancel as soon as the pirnter starts the alignment process. It worked for me! You will have to cancel the alignment page every time you turn on your printer, but that's better than no printing at all.

HP has a list of troubleshooting steps you can go through for the HP 2605dn when you experience print quality issues.

Two specific things I would try from that list are:

1. Clean the electrostatic transfer belt.
2. Clean the printer paper path.

""I have the same issue. I replaced both cartridges and ran the alignment test numerous times but kept getting this message. I then unplugged the printer and plugged it back in and it was fixed! You probably already tried this but if not, it worked for me. Good luck!""

try that for about 10 seconds per the manual at ("http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/924/en/om_en/om_en.pdf" if you don't have it)

good luck!

That problem is frequently on HP 2600 series.
You must try to change all remanufactured toner cartridges with HP OEM with no exception, the best alignment it is when you change the black cartridge and the printer make a cleaning page process. Cartridge HP OEM should be almoust empty. It Is not necesarry to be a new one. After the alignment process, you can put the remanufacturated cartridges back on.
This was work for me. 100%
