How to Identify and Fix Common Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced technical support :
Replace any low, empty or faulty ink cartridges on your printer. Dust or paper residue on the rollers or separator pad inside the automatic document feeder (ADF) can result in copy quality issues.
You can visually inspect the remaining cartridge levels on your printer. If they are full but you still cannot print properly, check the cartridge`s expiry date. Expired ink cartridges often dry up which causes problems in the print results.
Replace low, empty or faulty ink cartridges on your printer. Print a test page from your printer and check if the cyan colour is printing from your printer. Try cleaning the printheads with ethanol and check if it helps.
Start with checking the ink level in your toner. You can check the Ink Level by touching the ink drop icon on the printer display. Since you have a problem with printing in Yellow color check Yellow or Magenta ink level. If its ink level doesn`t appear, it could be an issue with either Yellow or Magenta cartridges.
If your printouts have incorrect colors, try these solutions: Make sure the paper type setting matches the paper you loaded. Make sure the Black/Grayscale or Grayscale setting is not selected in your printer software. Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged.
Clean the printheads: Sometimes the issue why you are unable to print in color is because our printheads are clogged with ink. Clean the printheads and then print a document to check if color printing works. Some printers also have in-built programs that can clean themselves so remember to check for that.
Reasons why your HP printer has ink but won`t print
This may seem obvious, but it sometimes happens: first make sure your paper tray has paper in it. Misalignment, clogged printheads, faulty data communication or insufficient ink levels can also be sources of the problem.
Several factors may cause the product to print blank pages, such as print settings, low ink, or the product itself. Check the following: Make sure the product is placed on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base in all directions. The product won`t operate properly if it`s tilted or at an angle.
Go to your computer and click “Print” from the file that you wanted to print. Click on “Properties” and then the “Color” tab next. Select the “Print in grayscale” option by clicking on its checkbox. You can now start printing in black and white.
This is because cyan ink absorbs red light and reflects green and blue—remember than green + blue light = cyan. If we want a printed surface to appear blue, we need both cyan ink (to absorb red), and magenta ink (to absorb green)—so the only additive color left to be reflected is blue.
Information about Yellow / #FFFF00
In a CMYK color space (also known as process color, or four color, and used in color printing), hex #FFFF00 is made of 0% cyan, 0% magenta, 100% yellow and 0% black. Yellow has a hue angle of 60 degrees, a saturation of 100% and a lightness of 50%.
Print a Nozzle Test pattern, if the yellow is orange then you have cross contamination in the Printhead and it might be purgeable, but you would have to print a lot of yellow. Cross contamination happens when some ink oozes out of one printhead and is wicked up into another color.
If your PC or the LCD screen on your printer is telling you that your ink cartridges are full but no ink is passing through to the paper, then it`s most likely that you are dealing with a clogged printhead. Blurry documents and images that appear faded are also signs that it`s time to remove the excess ink.
Why is my printer printing yellow not red? It is most likely that your image is yellow where you were expecting it to be red and you may also notice that blue parts of the image appear turquoise instead. Both of these effects are caused by a lack of magenta ink/toner on your prints.

HP deskjet 460 Waste ink tank full
ANSWER : I worked fixing printers for 5 years for Verizon and some of the older printers were notorious for the waste receptacle filling and overflowing with ink. My solution was good old warm water. Remove the waste container and scoop out as much as you can with a small screwdriver, wiping the discard on a paper towel, then just run warm water from the faucet into the container till all the residue is removed. This is just water soluble ink folks, if you want to test it, scoop out a glob and dissolve it in warm water, its easy as pie. I never once bought a new ink discard reservoir. I just cleaned out my mobile 460 printer reservoir by the same method. There are no electrical connections its just all plastic.

Black ink in HP G55 casing
ANSWER : Hope someone can help me with a HP Officejet G55 “problem”. I took my G55 apart and cleaned the service station as explained here on this site as it was obviously full of ink “goo” and the printer had refused to print in the middle of a printing, displaying a remove black cartridge etc message even though the HP45 cartridge itself showed it was not even half empty. I had no major problems with the cleaning procedure, but after putting it back together there was “the problem”! The Carriage with the ink cartridges gets stuck just before its about to enter its “home base” over the service station and I get a “fix carriage jam and then push enter” on the screen. I can see and hear that it is the service station that gets stuck just before the “cycle run” of the carriage is about to end. You can hear the service station motor gear slip on the plastic gear mechanism of the service station, not being able to move it any further but tries for a moment with a grinding noise and then stops. Is there some sort of time alignment I need to do between the carriage, service station mechanism and service station motor? Like service station pushed to the back, carriage to the far left etc etc. Ive tried a few “scenarios” but the carriage allways gets stuck in the same place with the grinding noise from the service station/motor “gears”! If I move the carriage by hand it goes from the far right to the far left without any problem. Its just when the service station/motor etc is engaged, that this happens. Hope someone can help me with this problem. Thank you.
