Printer printing out wrong color. i have cleaned the cartridges several times, checked to make certain tape is off. How do I configure the printer to allow me to have access to the printer service to calibrate the color?

Its sounds as though the printer isnt picking up the cartridges properly, try removing it and cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and the printer

Check that you intalled toners in the correct way, eventually remove cartridges, and repeat toner installing procedure.
Check if it is just a color adjustment problem on printer settings.

There is nothing wrong with the black ink. Just run the head cleaning for better printing.

1. Go to printer and faxes
2. Right click your printer ( Epson Stylus Multifunction Printer/ Copier/ Scanner InkJet)
3. Click printing preferences
4. Click Maintenance Tab
5. Click Head Cleaning
6. Run head cleaning for 5 times then try printing.

have you removed the contact protection tape (for cartridges with integrated printhead)

it is also possible that the cartridge connector needs cleaning both on the cartridge itself and on the printer

hope this helps

HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer - Installing Print Cartridges When a print cartridge approaches the end of useful life, the control panel displays a message recommending that to order a replacement. The printer can continue to print using the current print cartridge until the control panel displays a message instructing to replace the cartridge. The printer uses four colors and has a different print cartridge for each color: black (K), cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y). Replace a print cartridge when the printer control panel displays one of the following messages: Replace yellow cartridge, Replace magenta cartridge, Replace cyan cartridge, Replace black cartridge. The control panel display also indicates the color that should be replaced (unless a genuine HP cartridge is not currently installed). Change the print cartridge

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the front door. CAUTION: Do not place anything on the transfer belt (ETB), which is located on the inside of the front door.
3. Remove the used print cartridge from the printer.
4. Remove the new print cartridge from the bag. Place the used print cartridge in the bag for recycling.
5. Grasp both sides of the print cartridge by the blue handles and distribute the toner by gently rocking the print cartridge from front to back. CAUTION: Do not touch the shutter or the surface of the roller.
6. Remove the orange shipping locks and the orange shipping tape from the new print cartridge. Discard the shipping tape and shipping locks according to local regulations.
7. Align the print cartridge with the tracks inside the printer, and using the handles, insert the print cartridge until it is firmly seated.
8. Firmly close the front door.
9. Turn on the printer. After a short time, the control panel should display Ready.
   NOTE: If a cartridge is in the wrong slot or is the wrong type for the printer, the control panel will display one of the following messages: Incorrect yellow, Incorrect magenta, Incorrect cyan, Incorrect black.
10. Installation is complete. Place the used print cartridge in the box in which the new cartridge arrived. See the enclosed recycling guide for recycling instructions.
11. If a non-HP print cartridge is in the printer, check the printer control panel for further instructions.
    NOTE: When replacing or changing a black print cartridge, a cleaning page will automatically print. This helps prevent speckles on the front or back of printed documents. A cleaning page can also be generated using the control panel or the HP Toolbox.

I know what you mean by an inexpensive printer. The cartridges cost more than the printers! A simple, but often overlooked solution is to make sure that the tape protecting the bottom of the cartridge has been removed. Check that and let me know the results.
