Why is my printer printing red and blue when it's supposed to be black?
-
This is what it's supposed to look like: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj59/wutupjoey/Capture.jpg This is what it looks like when it prints out: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj59/wutupjoey/Image.jpg It's kinda hard to see but it prints a little bit of blue before it switches to red. Notice how it only does that to the pictures and not the words. What should I do?

Answer:
It's probably low on yellow or black ink.

Ours does that when it's running low on black ink.
when u go to file then print where it tells the name of the printer, rite next to that it will say properties cilck on that and make sure ALL the settings say black NOT colored:):):):)♥
Test print to clean the printer out. It could also be running out of ink, I'd do a full printer clean out if I were you.
depending on your printer, it may use 3 colors to print black, if one of the inks is out, i would guess yellow from what you are saying, than it may not be completely black. If it never printed black to begin with, it could be the settings.
Reinstall your print drivers. Make sure your ink cartridges are inserted correctly. Reboot. Lotsa possibilities.
Clogged ink jets. You have to run the utility program that came with the printer. There you will be able to unclog your printer and a couple of other maintenance features if you desire.
