All of a sudden my hp 932c printer started printing funny in color. I was printing pictures and the prints came out like a heat resolution type picture. I then got new ink cartridges, it did not fix the problem. I have not used the printer in a while and I went to print just black and white ink and the ink cartridges move across the page like it is printing, but only a faint line here and there. I reinstalled cartridges and the check page was incomplete in print but all of the checks were as if everything was ok. I would appreciate any help.

Even though you print a b/w document... unless you say 'black cartridge only' in your printing preferences, all the colors get used.

Find 'black cartridge only' in your printing preferences, or 'print in greyscale' and then print your document. You must specify this for your printer to know that it must use the black only.

I use a small diameter silicone tube tocarefully "prime" stubborn new carts by sucking a drop of ink out ofthe tiny print holes in the printhead part of the cart. Ink can dry at the headand since these carts work by electrical excitation, there needs to be liquidof each color at the holes. Slap a drop of water with your finger on the holesto start easy hesitant ones. Do not get the contacts wet.

will you get to change the print color and by doing that you have look for the ink then when you fing go get ride of and put now one or I get any other way let me thing..

Slow printing can be port sharing or software conflicts, so try switching ports or switch from serial LPT1 cable to USB.

Turn off printer and allow print carriage to park. Unplug printer. Using a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol gently clean the interface gold looking ribbon where the ink cartridges plug in. Allow to dry. Test printer with a test sheet. If that doesn't work, replace the control board. It might be just as cost effective to replace.

Check the ink lines, the printer head might be clogged, If thats not fixing anything then check your printer settings on the computer and remove the color option. Changing it to black and white can somtimes just be from color, not just black.

try adding some sewing machine oil to the slide bar

No, it's an ink jet printer

HP Deskjet 932C prints only black and pink, even with new color catridge.

Loks like there is a "well" under the "docked" position of the heads (at the right end of the unit, facing it - under the control buttons.) In my unit, ink had built up in this well to the point that some of the mechanical bits were scraping the top of the built-up ink pile. After I carefully removed about two TootsieRoll's-worth of old dried ink with a long scewdriver (using a flashlight to illuminate the area), the color printing seemed to be doing better. Can't tell yet if this has completely resolved the problem, as I have not yet printed enough pages to prove the point...
