Why is my printer printing red ink instead of black?
At times your printer may start printing in red even if you want to print a black and white document. This issue mostly occurs if the color cartridge has run out of ink and needs replacement.
Why is my printer printing color but not black?
First, check your printer settings on the file or picture your trying to print. If your page is setup to print in “grayscale” it will only print in black and white. Change the setting to “default” so it will print in color. If your settings look good from the start, the cartridge may just need to be primed.
Why is my printer printing in pink ink?
Your printer may be printing pink as the other cartridges have run out. Common printer to page technology processes colour in four parts; cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK), or toner. For example, if you’re printing a seaside setting and the sea prints a pinkish colour, your cyan cartridge may need refilling.
Why is my printer printing red instead of brown?
I understand that your printer is printing in brown instead of red.

HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink or toner supplies.
