    I have the HP Photosmart 8250 as I mentioned. I do not know what the problem with the cartridge, the pictures are printed well, but the problem is the color. There is too much green. I have tried lots of solution but I didn’t get the any solution. Any idea how I can fix this by avoiding getting the new cartridges? Thanks in advance for taking the time and in response to the query. I really appreciate it.

    I advise you try to print a picture or in this case a document with a lot of red objects or text. Then just take a look if the result has a lot of red in it at all. If you do not see much red, then surely the magenta ink is low, dry, or if it is likely that problems with the print head. I wish that means to clean the print head from the software. Do not take a chance on what I said. It may be useful. I hope this will help you.

    You can make the print heads by the following process. Open all in a toolbox. Then enter in the boot, hit all programs and between HP and finally, click the HP Solution Center. In addition, ensure that all that is needed in a tab in the HP solution center. Follow-up by the configuration of the entrance, followed by the print settings and tool box of the printer. In the device services, access the print cartridges clean and carry out the instructions will be given. Note that there are three levels of cleanliness.
