shorty Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 My printer (HP Desk Jet 5940) is behaving rather strange: When printing an Excel document I get the table, and the colored fields with text. But the text in the uncolored fields is not printed. Any ideas why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Update: Tried printing a Word document in Word and LibreOffice Writer - no black on white text is printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The obvious choice is an empty or dead black cartridge, where dark printing that looks black may work, but there's no actual black. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to check a cartridge without replacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Yes - that was my own conclusion also. Have ordered a new cartridge. Though everything was OK, as I have no warning lights flashing. But I can see now that running an elder printer on Win7/Win8 will rob you of a lot of the supporting tools Edited June 5, 2015 by shorty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 With semi-luck, that's the issue. I hope this fix solves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
