Take it to refill site and ask them to unclog with ultrasound. If still clogged, buy a new color cartridge

You can dab the bottom of the color cartridge on a damp paper towel, check the streaks left behind, if there is no yellow either there is no yellow in the cartridge or it's just plugged. Dab it a few times on a wet towel, if still no yellow, you need another cartridge.

Testimonial: "Thank you. You were right on! Sadly enough, this is the second consecutive cartridge that was without yellow. Is this a common flaw from HP?"

Hello,
The Magenta or RED toner cartridge should be removed and double check that you have indeed removed the pull tab located on the side of the cartridge which will remove the sealing tape off the new toner cartridge.
The YELLOW toner cartridge on the other hand if it is not new then it is perhaps empty and needs to be replaced. Another option is to remove the YELLOW toner cartridge from the machine, Tap it and shake it side to side to loosen the toner that is in it, and replace it back into the machine, this will usually make it start to work again!
Good Luck!

Won't print in color

All cartridges are new...report shows 0 pages for yellow left yet all others added at the same time show thousands of pages left. Everything printed is in black with no color. BTW: I have 3,000 pages left with black cartridge and the display says I need black.

What should I do?

Color toners are empty

Press Green Tick, Right, -> System Setup -> Right, Right, -> Print Quality, Right -> Replace Supplies. Change from stop at out, to override at out. It'll let you print, and you'll get loads more out of your toner before the pages start to fade.
