My printer is printing everything green?

Question

I have a hp psc 1350 all in one printer. I took the cartridges to refill to Walgreens but its printing everything green and they said that the cartridge is good why is it doing this? Someone told me to unistall my printer or driver and install it again but how do i do this please help me..

Answer 1

The reason it is printing green is that the refiller did the refilling wrong. The blue (cyan) ink and the yellow ink has mixed, giving you green.

This occurred because the refiller either filled in the wrong ink into the wrong ink chamber or the inks mixed accidentally during the refilling process.

Sometimes the mixed ink can be purged quickly if you print for some time. But if it persists beyond 20 pages, it probably means that the inks has mixed too much and has gone beyond the printhead into the actual ink chambers.

This cartridge is dead. Change it (if your refiller is going to warrant that) or you'd have to go get a new one.

Hi. Try uninstalling the printer and let Windows (or the Mac) find the drivers when you reboot. If that does not work try running the 'clean printer head' utility. You may need to do this more than once. If all else fails, try a new color cartridge. And make sure the black cartridge did not get filled with green ink. (Stranger things have happened at xxxmart.)

Answer 3

Its nothing to do with the drivers - leave them alone..... its the cartridge it has to be, i would buy a brand new one, (hp) and try that, if it works fine, take the so called refilled one back to the shop and tell them its not working right ( so long as the new hp one prints normally..........Believe me i have never heard of the print drivers causing the printr to print funny colours...un less its the wrong driver.

message to the first person to answer (strawberry).....what does ...'this happens because the cartridge has color ink mostly'...what in hells name is that supposed to mean...... you dont know what you are talking about........

DeanAlley is right. Sometimes the cartridges just wear out. I usually just buy a new printer -- it's cheaper than replacing the stupid cartridges, but for your all in one, you should look at the overall price of cartridges and weigh out your options. Wanna buy a cheap used printer -- needs ink! My shed is full of them.

How many times have you refilled your cartridge? Usually twice is all you can do it, after that there are issues with them.

Answer 8

Printer use three basic colors, one is finished so now you have to change color cartridge of your printer.

Answer 9

Rather than uninstall your printer driver, I would simply recommend reinstalling it. To do this, go to www.hp.com, and search for PSC1350 or you can select the download from here:

Also, I would check its connection with your computer. If the connection between the printer and the computer is not fully established, this same behavior can happen.
