    Are you using compatible inks or originals? You may have a faulty ink cartridge, make sure all stickers or labels that are meant to be removed are off the colour ink cartridge and that you have run at least 3 head cleaning cycles

    I have one of those,the most likely cause is the colour ink cartridge is in need of replacement.

    Go to HP website and search for the latest driver / utility software for your printer and Windows version.

    http://www8.hp.com/ie/en/support-drivers.html

    Follow the instructions for downloading, installing, restart etc.
