@TK333, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
If your HP DeskJet 4155e has a flashing orange light, and you've replaced both cartridges with full ones, yet it's only printing in black and blue, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Ensure Proper Installation:
- Check if the cartridges are installed correctly. Remove and then reinsert them securely into the printer. Make sure you hear a click, indicating they are seated properly.
Cartridge Compatibility:
- Verify that you are using the correct HP cartridges for your printer model. Using incompatible cartridges can cause errors.
Perform a Printer Reset
- Power Reset:
- Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
- Wait about one minute, then plug the power cord back in and turn on the printer.
Check Printer Settings
Verify Print Settings:
- In the printer properties, ensure that the print settings are configured to use both color and black ink.
Additional Troubleshooting
Clean Printhead:
- If the color ink is not printing correctly, clean the printhead using the printer's maintenance settings. Ensure that ink nozzles are not clogged.
Print a Test Page:
- Print a test page to see if all colors print properly. If color ink still doesn't print, it may be due to a malfunctioning cartridge.
