How can I get my printer to print with all of the colors (it's not printing any of the red colors even after inserting them again)?

All the colors should print? Maybe the head needs to be cleaned or the ink has dried up in that cartridge. Do a Test page between cleanings.

From the Maintenance tab in Printing Preferences, do a nozzle check to see if any colors are missing from the test pattern. If so, do a head cleaning. You may have to alternate between these steps several times. Try another cartridge. If that doesn't fix it, you may have to take it to an Epson repair shop. They can soak the nozzles in a cleaning solution. The shop I use charges $50 if they can fix it, nothing if not.

Do a hard Reset of printer, unplug (don't turn off). Unplug, wait 30 seconds replug and let it start up....take each ink cartridge out, close n lock each color....unplug again, replug and restart then reinsert each color again and lock properly....see what it says and then if still not working properly refer to the Brother manual. I've had many different brother printer over the last 15 years I've never had that error, hmmmm but try that. :).

Up to date drivers is a good idea. Also, when you click on "print", a square menu comes up. Make sure the right printer is identified and then click on "Properties". then on the tab titled "Main" if you are not already there. You should see a line of pictures suggesting draft, text, etc. Click on "Text and Image". That should work. I had to specify with each printing for a while, then it got the hint that I wanted text and image.Good Luck!

Hi. Please take the cartridges out, then please turn off printer and then wait 20 seconds. Then turn on printer and don't put in cartridges yet. Wait until the printer starts up. And when it prompts for the cartridges. Please make sure you remove the orange piece from the new cartridges, then please put them in, and make sure they click in, it might need the extra push to get them in, if a message pops up that they are not original, please just acknowledge the messages and click ok. and do 2 test prints. This should work. Please let me know. Thank you

yes. in my experience with this printer you have to replace colors before you can print again. i have tried going to black and white only and greyscale like the support pages ask you to do but i have had no luck.

I take it to kinkos and it prints in black or white or color. Depends what kind of printer you have

Are you talking about through Microsoft word? There's a setting you can change through Microsoft word, I wouldn't know about he printer. Also, I can never print black and white from the web, unless I use the system dialogue and set to black ink only(every time)

Sounds like your settings need to be changed back to a paper setting. Go into the settings on your printer and change it there.

Oh, thank god, this worked for me as well. This was driving me nuts. I had just bought a replacement large black tank and all I'm trying to print is text, but it wouldn't work because one of the photo tanks was out. (And I couldn't just buy that one, would have had to buy the pack of all four colors for $60)... I was about ready to just buy a new printer!

My printer is a MFC-4700W but it didn't recognize a color. I removed all cartridges and reinserted and that worked.

I've not found a way to do anything except greyscale. Look in "Properties" and see if it's possible with your printer. I think that unless you're printing with greyscale, you are using black.

It should print without the others. I have had one of the colors run out and just picked the black print option and I was fine.

Have you tried going into the printer settings and changed them to "Black and White"?

Go to control panel, verify printer is actually loaded and recognized. Go through printer diagnostics and print a test page. Even do a simple flatbed copy as well to prove there are no mechanical problems. If necessary finally reload your drivers.

I had s similar problem with printer not working. I ended up purchasing a new printer through Amazon. Sorry I can't help you further.

It prints only in black and white - not color. I think :-) I am very happy with mine, if that's any help. FAST and efficient.
