Printing light colors does not work

The streaking could be anything internal to the printer, such as the transfer belt or a drum unit. As for the lack of color, that sounds like it is a setting in the print driver that got changed from printing in color to printing in monochrome or grayscale. Look through your print driver settings to see if you can locate this setting and change it back to color. Also, once you print in color again you may notice that the streaking is a specific color, which will help to troubleshoot that issue.

WORKAROUND: Select EconoFast or Draft as the print quality setting in the printer properties. This will prevent the color cartridge from being used. - Or - Try another color cartridge. The color cartridge is used to print grayscale images in Normal or Best print modes, so if one color has run out, the printout will have the wrong tint. With a full color cartridge, the colors can be properly combined to create a composite black. CAUSE: When printing with Normal or Best as the print quality setting, the HP Deskjet 710C or 720C or 722C series printer will use the color ink to improve print quality output, even when printing a grayscale image.

I believe your problem lies in the printer properties - in that at some point, the printer was told to print all colors in black & white.

Seems very frustrating but in reality, it should be just a simple fix.

Try going into printer properties:
either control panel then right-click on printer icon
or point mouse to start menu, printers and faxes, then right-click on default printer (assuming it is the correct printer), left click on properties, then left click on printer preferences, far tab likely...look for <color> and have a look at any checkmarks in boxes having to do with "print all colors in black white" or something like..." print in greyscale only"

should fix if not, go to printer mfg website and download most recent driver and any patches.
if you take this route...do not install the driver quite yet - just download it to maybe desktop for now.
First you would have to uninstall existing driver, reboot, THEN install the new driver then reboot and see what happens.

Quite possible something happened to the printheads.....especially the Magenta one. Might have been 'bumped' out of alignment. They might just need to be wiped clean with a toner cloth. They are usually right above the toner cartridges. Have you tried a color alignment adjustment in Config mode?

Is the light printing the same for black and white vs color? Light printing on a side is not uncommon for these printers. It is usually caused by the laser optics getting dirty. But this usually shows up more in one color than the other. Such as something printed in yellow is fine while red is faded on one side. If the light on the right side printing is the same on all colors including black then I would suspect something with your transfer unit.
If you do notice that it us just on black or another color then it is definately time to get the laser optics cleaned.

That happens because the screen color resolution is better than the printer color resolution. You can set your color scheme down to 16 colors. Right click on the screen and select the appearance tab to change the color resolution

This is caused by dust in the scanner assembly. There's a fan right by the magenta laser scanner that blows dust and particulate matter in the air directly on that laser scanner.
Requiring its removal and careful cleaning of all lenses and mirrors. Unfortunately, this is not covered in the service manual. Getting the laser/scanner out is not too bad: Start by removing the printer covers, the rear plate, and the plate on which the DC controller and formatter mount. Remove the four laser/scanner unit corner screws and the single screw for its cover. Be careful to remove the small shutter spring on the cover before removing the cover. Use a strong flashlight to carefully examine the copper-colored mirrors for dust. Use dry cotton swabs to carefully clean all dust from the mirrors and the lenses. Blow dirt and dust from the inside of the scanner box. You will notice that the bottom mirror, facing up, is the one with the most dust.

Hi,
The first thing i would try to do is clean the corona wire on the drum unit. It might also be a faulty magenta cartridge.
