My printer only prints in red now.

Question

Hello everyone,   So here it is, I have an HP Deskjet 2100 series printer that for some time now only prints one color: red.  I want to clarify that I only print from word processing. At first, the first two lines appeared in black, which was normal, and then it degraded to red on a few lines before turning completely red and staying that way.  I tried fiddling with the options, doing a cartridge cleaning, I even changed the black cartridge, aligned it but nothing works...   I have big projects to print urgently and now I’m stuck.   Does anyone have a solution?  Thanks in advance.

Well, I can't swap the cartridges, they're each made for their slot, so I removed the color cartridge to print a text in black and it doesn't print anything... I tried with red just in case, but still nothing, and when I put the color cartridge back, the black stays red and the red is printed in light red...

Good evening,  Probably a problem inside the printer, it needs to be repaired.  Have a good evening.

Hi, A useless option but you'll see right away if it's your printer that's acting up. Swap your cartridges or remove the one with colors.

It's stupid to put -1 everywhere; the rating system was put in place to easily identify the best answers. I didn't say that someone who wrote in the discussion put the -1s, but it's completely idiotic to do that.  Have a good evening.

Don't worry, I haven't opened the printer, just tried swapping the cartridges and removing the color one to see if it would print in black, but nothing....  So now I don't know, it has decided to print in red everywhere and that's it, it refuses to print in black...

Thank you Jeremy, I was kind of expecting it, so that's all that remains to be done... I will take it tomorrow, thank you for getting back to me!   Have a good evening!

Good evening, Have you tried changing your color cartridge, or when printing try checking "grayscale" in the color tab to use only your black cartridge? --  ** 90% of issues are between the chair and the keyboard!!! ** If the problem is resolved, please change the status to resolved (using the icons at the top of the message).
