If it's a multi function printer, you can make an copy of something to check, or try holding the power button to make an test page from the printer. <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 29, 2013 4:13 PM, "Jan Greeff" <<a href="mailto:jan@verslank.net">jan@verslank.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> This made sense, I tried it but the problem remains.

All colour printing comes out purple. I think that I messed up when I tried to play around with the color calibration settings, which do not seem to work except that the purple problem started directly after. I tried to reset the printer to default, posted the question on HPLIP Launchpad, no luck. On color calibration there is a page that says "choose the numbered colored box that best matches the background color" but nothing on that page activates when you click, except for the dropdown menu that selects numbers from 1 to 21 but this does not seem to have any effect anywhere. Best wishes, Jan haha hi there Jan. Here is just a guess as I dont have a printer. Look in home, might need to view hidden. see if you see a hp file there. might be .hp or .hpconf or something. copy that to desktop or something then delete it in home and aptitude reinstall the printer stuff. or come ask the guys on irc. but not many there on a Sunday morning. Good luck Miles </blockquote> -- ubuntu-za mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-za@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-za@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-za" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-za</a> </blockquote></div>
