When running cadd prints my HP ink jet printer began printing gray tones as pink. ( I was getting the grays until recently.) The ink cartridges show to be full. How do I get accurate grays?
Hi the usual course for this problem is using generic ink sometimes they can cause this problem.
If you are using original let me know also are you refilling them yourself and also how old is the printer????
Maintaining the printer
body
Printer case
exterior
Follow these guidelines when cleaning the outside
of the printer:
Printer interior
Do not clean the printer’s interior. Keep all
liquids away from the interior.
Print carriage
rod
Do not lubricate the rod on which the
print carriage moves. It is normal to hear noise as the carriage moves back and
forth on the rod when the printer is new.
Handling and
storage
Handle and store the printer in an upright, level
position for maximum performance and reliability.

I did this procedure successfully, ran a diagnostic report: all cartridges and print heads look good. Also ran level 1 & 2 print head cleaning procedure: now there's no gray at all when printing.
Cadd prints on HP CP1700 are coming out with pink areas where gray tones should be. I ran a level 1 & 2 Print head cleaning procedure and had the printer print out a diagnostic report. Results: print heads and cartridges are shown to be good, but, now, the pink is gone, but along with it, the gray tones as well. How do I get accurate grays?

Ink cartridges are HP, expire date: 12-3-09; not refilling them myself; printer is 3 1/2 years old...haven't used it much, mostly in last 8 months; print heads are original-installed date: 9-16-04.
