    My printer prints green pictures

    I have a HP 1210 all-in-one printer and lately when I go to print color pictures they have a severe green tint to them. Would this just be from the printer's color cartridge, which is about 2 years old, or a problem with the printer itself? It prints in black & white fine, the black ink cartridge is not that old.
    Thanks

    It's almost certain that you need a new color cartridge--2 years is a lllooooooonnnngggg time for one.

    I agree. I suspect that if you print a test page you'll find that one of the tanks is empty.

    OK thanks! I nice to know that is the problem, I was afraid it was the printer and it's cheaper to replace the cartridge the the printer.

    After two years the problem is probably a clogged print head. Since HP cartridges contain the print heads the fix is the same, replace the cartridge.
