Solution
The colors on the printed page
do not match the colors as they
appear on the screen.
The colors on your computer
monitor might differ from the
device output.
Select Screen Match in the
Color tab of the printer driver.
The printer driver might affect
color printing.
Try printing from a different
program or one of the other
printer drivers. For example, if
you are using the PCL 6 printer
driver, try the PS printer driver.
If extremely light colors or
extremely dark colors on
screen are not printing, your
software program might
interpret extremely light colors
as white or extremely dark
colors as black.
If possible, avoid using
extremely light or extremely
dark colors.
The media might not meet
HP specifications.
Use a different paper, such as
high-quality paper that is
intended for color laser
printers. See
The finish on the printed color
page is inconsistent.
The media might be too rough.
Use a smooth paper or print
media, such as a high-quality
paper that is made for color
laser printers. Generally,
smoother media produces
better the results. See

tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges.

the label on the package of paper.
