Please test after taking each of the steps below that you haven't already tried.

Step 1

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to print a test page. If the page is not in color, something is wrong with the printer, such as clogged ink heads.

Step 2

The Print dialog varies according to the application and the version of OS X. There are pulldown menus labeled Printerand Presets, and sometimes one labeled Paper Size. Below those is a divider with a menu that has no label. From that menu, select

Color Matching

and then, below the divider, select the option marked

Vendor Color Matching

where Vendor is the name of the printer manufacturer, such as HP or Canon.

Step 3

Open the Printers & Scanners preference pane in System Preferences and delete the print queue, then add it back.

Step 4

Reset the printing system.
