IJ650, Color and black print cartriges are out of sync.

I do not know how it happens, but the print cartridges are not synchronized, when I send something as simple as a rectangle filled in whatever color with an outer line in black the printer shifts down the black line forming two rectangles, one in color and one without fill, one shfted from the other one for about 2 mm. It seems as if the printer deceide to delay to print the black stuff delayed from the colored stuff. Any idea to fix this problem ?, I already reinstalled the software, that I got from the compaq website, aligned the heads, etc, nothing has been enough to resolve the issue. The test sheet of the printer shows one strange caracter at the begining of each line.

Try changing the printer cable. Also have you cycled the printer on and off? Are yo using genuine manufacturer cartridges? The possibility is the paper feed rollers may need to be cleaned. Some are accessable and some are not. If you can see them try cleaning them with a rag and some rubbing alcohol.

Print with single cartrige. I rarely use color. The color cartrige ran dry and nothing will print in b&w until I buy a new color cartrige ( for about $37.50) and install it. HOW DO I BYPASS THIS...

as long as the color print cartridges remain in the printer you should be able to print in only black and white.
If the error message does not come up and prompt you to chose this option, you should be able to tell the printer to print in black .

(1) go file print or print
(2) a gray box will pop up click on properties
(3) Click color
(4)click gray scale

This should do it for you!
(5) select black print cartridge only

Compaq IJ650 ink jet printer will not print color.

Just because it’s new does not mean New Old Stock. Your print head is plugged. No if or buts about it. Contact HP and tell them you situation. If they don’t help you, box it up and take it back. Buy an Epson.
