Usually this happens when the black cartridge is out of ink or when it is damaged.
Try to print with a new black cartridge

My HP business inkjet 2800 is producing printouts that are very faded and barely readable. The configuration page prints out only in black and white and indicates that the ink cartridges are all nearly...

The only thing to try is to run the cleaning software from 3-7 times, or until print quality is good. Right click the printer icon in the printer folder, select properties, then at the bottom click preferences. Locate maintainence, and run the clean and follow the instructions. If after 7 times the quality doesn't improve, you will have to replace the printheads. As long as the quality improves with each clean, continue to do so until it is acceptable.

When trying to print an 11 x 17 word 2010 document that displays properly on the screen only a portion approximately 8.5 x 11 prints out of my 3 month old HP business Inkjet 2800 printer.

It may be that an updated driver is needed; that would be available from the HP website. You should be able to manually set the printer via the HP user software that came with it although it seems that Word should be able to do that automatically.

Error message on HP 2800 business inkjet, message reads 1% ink left on brand new cartridge

Hello,

View the user manual here. http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00449611/c00449611.pdf

go to page 60 and follow the instructions for replacing the ink cartridge, remember to have the printer on when you do.

Then go to page 62 and allign the print head automaticly following the instructions it gives.

This will re-callibrate the ink level on the printer and should read correctly for you.

Thanks

Hp business inkjet 2800 will not print cyan although have replaced cartridge and run all onboard diagnostics. hp troubleshoot shows no problem yet printer will not print

You say you replaced the cartridge but did you replace the print head. If you fully lift the cartridge cover you will see a row of print heads. The Cyan print head is C4811A. Try replacing this.

or

If you feel lucky you can run the print head cleaner diagnostics. The print head may simply be dirty or clogged.
