How to Troubleshoot No Color on a HP 7150
The HP Photo Smart 7150 printer allows you to print out high quality photos. You can also print out black and white documents. Before using your HP printer make a print test. If you experience no color on the printer paper, then you need to look at your ink levels. If you are sure that your ink is not low, you may need to verify that there is nothing wrong with the ink cartridge.
