How do I fix my Printer that Won't Print in Color?

The printer is a great device and has become an indispensable part of life. Without a printer, one cannot imagine a life.

Why is it that my Colour Cartridge does not Print in Color?

Printing issues with your colour cartridge can be due to a few problems;

  1. First and foremost, check the settings of your printer on the file or image you are attempting to print. If your page is designed for grayscale printing, it can only print in black and white.
  2. Adjust the default setting to 'default' so that it can print in color. The cartridge can only need to be primed if your settings look good from the outset.
  3. Many printers have a cleaning feature built-in that you can run to do so. Print out a diagnostic page before you do the cleaning to confirm which colors are printed poorly. If any lines are missing from the test pattern, move on to running the cleaning feature.

In order to minimize the problems, we guide you through the process and the steps one should take. You may be able to use these steps no matter what printer you use. Only check the printer's user guide for detailed steps for your computer.

  • Open the Printer maintenance menu and there you will find an option that reads ‘Printhead Nozzle Check’ click on this option.
  • Once you have selected this option the printer will run a diagnostic page.
  • You would spot the print quality issue on the diagnostic page and if there are issues then you need to select the red ‘X’.
  • Next to run the printhead cleaning you need to select the start option.

If you face printer issues then you could resort to the step by step guide that will allow you a scope through which you will be able to rectify the issues such as the Printer Not Printing Color.
