Ok, this is weird...Using a HP 820C, replaced color print cartidge, and every time I print something thats in color, it prints it in black and white. I have no idea, tried playing around with color schemes, test pages and everything else...Any ideas?

Did you calibrate the new color cartridge? If it is really seated correctly . . . then it could be several things. How old is it? Check the expiration date on the box. Try a different cartridge. If that doesn't work co to \Printers and remove the pronter from your system . . . re boot and install it from scratch.

It could be dried out at the printhead. Was the blue film firmly in place when you unpacked it?
