Only Prints in Black and White

I have had the HP PSC 1610 for about a year and a half now and have never had any problems with it. Until this week, I have been trying to print in color, but it only prints in black and white. I checked the cartridge and it is not empty/dried up. I have been using the same type of cartridge. Help is greatly appreciated!

I have a HP PSC 1610 all-in-one printer. Can the colour cartridge be bypassed when it asks for replacement cartridge? I only print in black and white now 99% of the time.

No , we all only wish, this is the bane or all printer users. You cannot print without all in full & being OK. Also must use color sometimes else nozzles can clog up. Must clean, too.

My hp 1610 only prints letters in red. Downloaded

I suspect this is happening because your "Font" is set to Red. What you need to do, is when in the document, go to the Tool Bar and find & select the "Font" and change the color to Black. It is usually a little "Box" at the side of the name & size of the Font, you click in here and another little popup will appear showing colors, simply click on the Black color, and it is done, set.

Hp remfg black cartridge for hp 1610 unreadable

Hi, it is possible that your supplier has a faulty batch of cartridges. The only way to rule this out is to purchase a genuine one, try that and see how you go. Im sure if the problem is the ink , your supplier will be helpful, especially since you have been a customer for 2 years

Scanned Items or Copies all print in Solid Black

I assume that you mean color images are being produced in black and white. If that's the case, there's a document on the HP web site that shows you what to look for and provides solutions:

Color Image Prints in Black and White

Good luck.

HP 1610 prints color blocks all over a black and white page.

You are lucky you can print ANYTHING! My unit has NEVER worked (3 years) due to a hardware defect of HP. I downloaded patches, cleaned/replaced cartridges, etc.
Spoke to HP last nite-Was told printer was junk-they don't carry it or any parts to fix it anymore!! I was told to replace it!
