need more ink, sounds like you've run oput of blue ink, so it'll choose the next one with ink left in, you may be able to just refill the cartridge with special kits,messy thoughHP Deskjet 5740 printer. Why would colour printing be funny? Ie. I print blue text and it comes out pink.?
alternatively if you just refilled the ink cartridges with an ink refill solution you may have spilled the inks into the wrong side of the cartridge. If that is the case you need to buy a new one
the reason is clear like everyone else has said, your ink tanks are low. depending on the shade of blue you are attempting to print or any other colour for that matter your computer will tell your printer hhow to make up the colour you want either by printing layer upon layer of CMYK or if the colour is a pure colour from the ink tanks Cyan (blue) Magenta (red) Yellow BlacK.





but if it's not your ink tank then you have a serious bug in your system that needs working out.


the first thing to do is go and buy new ink tanks or get the ones you have refilled.


personally i always go for the OEM originals, i find that if you don't print often the inks last (stay fresher longer) i have a canon BJC 80 been sat in a shed for two years with the ink tanks still in, after a deep clean a couple of times the printer is back in servicable condition. I did a similar thing with an epson with non epson ink tanks and the print head was gone rendering my A3 printer unuseable. And it's not cheap to get it repaired.


thats why i use only OEM ink tanks.
Sounds like you are out of ink. You need to replace your colour cartridge. Then you will see those brilliant colors again!
most likely you have run out of ink. just get new cartridges or refill the old ones.





you should also check you printer settings as most printers have a color profile setting which you can change by right clicking properties going to color mangement and changing the profile to automatic. go to printers and faxes in control panel to do this.
Your printer is communicating that you you need more ink
You need a new ink cartridge.
need new ink
Either you are low on certain colors, or your heads are saturated. Try running the printers cleaning utility, if that doesnt work, take a q-tip with alchohol and clean the rollers. If that doesn't work get a new cartridge.
your printing colors in the cartridge is messed up big time so you shold buy a new color ink cartridge. if that does not work buy a new printer. the cheapest on is at walmart its a HP Deskjet 3900 its $20.
You need new ink catridges. U've run out of colour.
