My printer won't print yellow and the red is a little off, everything else prints out perfectly. I have no idea what to do to fix this problem. Anyone have anything like this happen before? What should I do?

Does your printer have a self-cleaning function? If it does, try that. My guess is there's some kind of clog.

Anyway, what you should do is clean the electrical contacts on the cartridge, and where the cartridge goes into the printer. Use q-tips and distilled water if you have it. Make sure you dry them, after you are done cleaning. Then re-try. You should also think about re-installing your drivers, but that's probably not the problem. I have also heard that HP has problems with yellow in some defective cartidges. But, it's probably just the electrical contacts.</p>
