Sounds like the print head on the color side is ether plugged on its plunger or the print head failed totally the real way to do any testing is get yourself a printer cleaning kit and follow the direction on that if that does not shore it up replace the plunger and or printhead around $45-50 bucks respectivly.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

    Oh well if you print a test page from the printer and it worked You did not say that in the very begining witch make me out to be a farse!!



    So here goes another solution for you on your mac the program your printing from make sure the color is selected if that is not the issue its with the driver or seomthing got fouled up and if that is the case do this go to the time machine on your task bar there and roll back your OS to where it was working fine you might have a fouled driver.



    I do appreciate FACTS and the WHOLE story before you decide to rate me like you did if you where to have told me that a test print worked I would have ruled out another issue,



    Please re rate accordenly we are answering your FREE question in hopes of your positve ratings.

Hi, I have a hp psc 950 printer. I recently switched to Mac. My printer won't print in color. Why?

You need a diver for mac that will allow you to get into the menu and select color. Got to the HP web site and look for a driver

HAVING HP PSC 950, I REPLACED BLACK INK WITH NEW AND I DO NOT WANT TO USE COLOR CATRIDGE . IN FACT THERE IS NO COLOR CARTRIDGE IN THE PRINTER. CAN I PRINT BACK N WHITE ONLY?? ANY SETTINGS TO BE CHANGED AS...

Since printers are pretty much a loss-leader, many will refuse to print anything unless you have all of their overpriced cartridges installed. Some of them can also recognize a refilled or after-market cartridge and have a chip in them that sense the presence of an original cartridge when first installed.

Hi, if you open the cover of your printer, the ink cartridges should go in the middle position, where you can simply pull them out.

Setting default

  1. Go to START>PRINTERS AND FAXES
  2. Right-click on your printer and choose "Printing Preferences".
  3. Choose the Color tab and set it to "Print in grayscale"
  4. You can also set it to use the b&w cartridge only for true black & white prints.

My HP PSC 950 printer copies and scans in color but prints in black

normally when the color tank runs out 2 things happen.

1] not all the colors run out at the same time.
2] the printer complains the tank needs to ne replaced.

If the tank isn't dry, it could simply be clogged. I like to use rubbing alcohol or distilled water and a cotton swab.

Dip the swab, & then gently apply pressure in the nozzles.
I would expect to see the clog before the cleaning process, some color to come off & when pressed on a paper towel, hopefully 3 bands.
