General Help

Hi. My HP deskjet 2130 series was working fine, but, I don’t know what happened, every document in color
( of any format) is printed with a yellow shadow, even if it’s downloaded from internet. I don’t know what to do. Please, need your help.

I have spent a lot of time cleaning Toner Bombs in my life…
Although a bad toner cartridge can cause this, it may also be caused by some toner getting loose and gumming up the rolling drum. Unplugging the printer, removing the toner and paper and cleaning the inside with a detail-vacuum and cotton swabs may help resolve the issue.
It is very unlikely anything software-side in your OS is causing the issue.
Your printer MAY need the calibration set and for that, you will need to look to the Hewlett Packard website for a troubleshooting guide.

Do a printhead test, they would print each color separation of the software settings you have on your computer. If even that pattern has a strange yellow cast, then your problem may be down to hardware. Some ink may have been mixed into other colors.

If that printhead test pattern turns out fine, then it would be down to your software settings. If you face the same issue, try changing your ink cartridge. There are many good brands available i.e. Lexmark ink cartridge, Sharp ink cartridge, Brother ink cartridge, etc.
