I use an HP 2600n colour laser, it has stopped printing Red as a colour, cartridges are all new and full and genuine, red is printing as orange no matter what application I use, my daily work horse is Coreldraw X4 and MS Publisher and XL, I have messed about with colour palletes to no end. Help anyone1 person needs an answerI do too

This is apparently a hardware issue with the printer. See this link for a discussion:http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1280585051749+28353475&threadId=1073731Contact HP tech support for further help.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

You might also like to check your graphics application printer output, and printer driver settings, and colour translation tables / workflow etc,...if your graphics application is ICM aware, wade through this excellent website,...specifically the "colour Management" section.http://www.normankoren.com/ regards, Richard

The OP already did that and if you read the link I gave "Erinholm" (or possibly did a Google yourself) you would see that doing any of what you suggest is useless. Repeat: This is a *hardware* problem with the printer. Messing about with *software* settings is not going to help.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

I didn't intend to suggest that my additional information would help with the OP's hardware problem, I merely supplied it as additional information, as the OP mentioned regular use of a graphics application. e.g.You might also like to check your graphics application printer output, and printer driver settings, and colour translation tables / workflow etc,....if your graphics application is ICM aware, wade through this excellent website,....specifically the "colour Management" section.http://www.normankoren.com/ Considering that many people never achieve correct colour output because their printer driver is left unaltered in it's default "automatic" state, I thought the OP might find it useful, as ADDITIONAL information, not a fix for his/her hardware problem, I HAD NOTICED that you'd dug it up from the web fro him/her. I see you're just as ignorant, and the usual big headed "know-all" as usual :-) regards, Richard

Repeat: This is a *hardware* problem with the printer. Messing about with *software* settings is not going to help. I merely supplied a little additional information that I thought the OP would be interested in, as I noticed he was working with a graphics application. I didn't suggest it would fix his hardware problem. I didn't comment on that as I noticed you had dug out a possible fix from the web. I think your comment "you would see that doing any of what you suggest is useless," was simply ignorant and indicates that you did simply not have the intelligence to work out for youself that I wasnot suggesting "Colour Management" as a solution to a hardware problem. Learning about "Colour Management" and setting up a system correctly for "Colour Management" is NOT "messing about with the *software* settings*...actually that's an interesting choice of phrase, e.g. I set up software correctly, whereas, it seems, you simply *mess about* with it ! regards, Richard
