You guys have been able to help me before, and I sure as heck hope you can help me now. My stupid printer won't print in anything but blue...everything! Blue blue blue blue blue! Just in different shades. This is what I have tried

Cleaning the nozzles
Running diagnostics
Updating the drivers
Uninstalling reinstalling the drivers
replaced cartridges
made sure the setting were all on default


Nothing works! Any help? Has anyone had this problem before? I'm going crazy!

I apologize, I'm normally pretty good about that rule. I was just in a hurry to post the topic and clicked on the first forum that started with a "T"

Data, when you say heads, do you mean the nozzles the ink comes out of?

That's a strange problem... it sounds more like a software problem or a problem on the firmware on your printer.

It occours printing from every program or just from a specific one?

for me it sound more like hardware problem, not software he already wrote that he tried to reinstall stuff etc
all in all there is section in printer driverz (control pannel i mean)- print test page (or something like that, you know i have slovakian windows=))
but i think it will be hardware problem!

My problem with a Lexmark Z25 printer was the same, but it printed only in red. The color cartridge was f*cked up and in result - colors going crazy. That would be my guess, ReamusLQ.
