Some ink jets are differant. Some have an Ink jet cartridge system that has the print head on the cartridge itself. Others use a seperate print head. When you pull out the ink cartridge is there another small unit below the cartridge that you can pull out? If so that is the print head and you will need to replace it. Also make sure that you have taken off the tape off of the air pilot hole on the ink cartridge so it can work properly. www.tonerovernight.com

Yellow color does not printing

did you remember to remove the pull strip from the cartridge? Other possbility is a bad cartridge, if you still have the old cartridge, put it in and try a print. If that does not produce yellow then you might have a broken contact on the yellow cartridge bay.

HP A636 will not print yellow; tricolor cartridge is new

Align the print cartridge.

The printer automatically aligns the print cartridge after a new one is installed. You can also align the print cartridge at other times to ensure optimal print quality. Indications that you need to align the print cartridge manually include borderless prints with white space
along an edge, colors not printing satisfactorily, or poor print quality.

To align the print cartridge from the printer

Load a sheet of HP Advanced Photo Paper in the input tray.
Touch the Setup icon to display the Setup menu. For more information, see "Setup Menu" on page 16.
Touch Cartridge.
Touch Align Cartridge and follow the prompts.

Clean the print cartridge automatically.
If the printed pages are missing lines or dots or contain ink streaks, the print cartridge might be low on ink or need to be cleaned.
CAUTION: Clean the print cartridge only when necessary.
Unnecessary cleaning wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridge.

Clean the cartridge.

Follow these steps to clean the cartridge automatically:
To clean the print cartridge from the printer,

Touch the Setup icon to display the Setup menu. For more information, see "Setup Menu" on page 16.
Touch Cartridge.
Touch Clean Cartridge and follow the prompts.

If the documents are still missing lines or dots after cleaning, replace the print cartridge.

HP will not recognise new cartridge

The problem you are describing with the yellow cartridge sounds like ink starvation possibly due to a clogged print head or an air bubble in the print head. Since the machine is so new I would contact HP to get the print head replaced. As for the magenta cartridge, exchanging it for a new one at the store you bought it from should fix the problem. It sounds like the chip on the one you have is either damaged or wasn't set to read full ink levels.

Prints photos with yellow horizontal stripes.Hv downloaded HP printing diagnostic utility and no errors were reported. If just using scanner to copy photos, prints fine but copying photos in library p

go into the printer and do a test print. start>printer & faxes>right click on the printer in question>properties>printer preference button> test print ... try the printer's own test print. This is usually caused by a poor print head, low ink, poor cartridge or the need for calibration. Look in the maintenance tab in the printer properties for head cleaner, jet cleaner etc. This also happens with refill ink cartridges.
