Why is my print red?

I did not change the color of my print or text. Everything prints out in red and I don't know how to fix it.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

This problem seems to be fairly common for HP 6500 series all in one printers. I don't have a good answer for you.

See this Google search, and particularly these two hits:

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Help-HP-Officejet-6500-Won-t-print-Black-text/td-p/341660

In particular, I suggest printing a test page using the printer's controls only (see "Solution six" at the last link above). That should at least narrow things down to the printer (if the test page shows a problem) or Windows (if the test page prints OK).

If it's a printer problem, ask for help in the HP forums --> http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Help-HP-Officejet-6500-Won-t-print-Black-text/td-p/341660
