HP 2500 laserjet prints only one color per page.

My HP 2500 has been connected to my PowerMac for some time without problems. A few days ago, it made odd noises and after that it will only print blank pages or pages in just one color. Different pages would print in different colors, but each individual page would have just one. i.e. first page red second page yellow. Couldn't find any rhyme or reason to which color printed on which page. All toner cartridges claim to have enough toner. I printed a demo page directly from the buttons on the printer without involvement from the computer, and the problem was still there.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks,
Joel

SOURCE: Install cartridge

I did a master reset and now it will print but the ink level for the yellow cartridge still shows "empty" even though it is a new one but at least it prints for now anyway.
Master Reset:
Turn off printer and unplug.
Hold down "OK" button and "Help" button and plug in at the same time.
Turn on printer and wait for reset to finish.
It worked for me. Hope it works for everyone.

Swap all toner carts on both machines. Sounds like a toner cart problem

I had this same issue, are you able to print from the printer's internal test feature?  If so try turning the power off for at least 10 seconds.  This is just at temporary fix I am still looking for a permanent fix that does not involve replacing the printer.

    SOURCE: printing blank pages

    For 34 Short Paper error, reseat the tray guides and make sure it is set properly. Also, set the correct settings in the computer. For blank pages, always double-check the paper settings and again the settings in the computer. For not printing black, print the Print Quality page and see what color is not printed or not showing. If Print Quality shows black, try printing any document from any application in the computer. Check if you still have the problem. If problem is not resolved, leave a comment so I can get back to this.

    HP 1300 laserjet connected to my mac for many years now, without any problem , has suddenly not stopped printing nonsense. Page after page of a few characters per page. Any solutions out there?
    1st thing that I would do is delete the printer and download and install the drivers again.
    I think that the drivers are corrupted.

    HP LaserJet 1500... prints color yellow ONLY
    It's possible that the toner in the cartridge is not evenly distributed. You can redistribute toner if you gently shake the cartridge from side to side, then reinstall it to see if this affects performance. Please also see this article.
    You might wish to use the guided troubleshooting option available from HP support here. Or have a look at the troubleshooting section in the user manual here. Then clean the engine & calibrate the printer, as described pg. 88.
    If that's no help, please see this forum post and the linked attachments within.

    I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

    HP color laser 2550L prints only in yellow
    Hi Mmgrafde,

    Press the Go and Rotate Carousel buttons simultaneously. This will calibrate the printer. See if this works.

    Otherwise....Remove all cartridges and drum. Switch off printer. Close the lid. Switch on printer and wait until any churning stops. Insert the drum and close the lid. Wait until any churning stops. Put in one cartridge at a time, closing the lid and wait till it stops churning each time. With the last cartridge put in, it will churning longer (calibrating). Try to print from your computer.

    It could also be that the toner could actually have run out for the other colors.
