Re: Envelopes are printing red instead of black?

Glad you found an answer, and perhaps it will help the OP, but I'm still
curious about why this whole situation arises. The writers of printer
drivers must have very strange brains.

I have a Lexmark Z715. If you do File, Print, and select Printer
Properties,
there is an option under Quality/Speed that you can check: Print Color
Images In Black & White. This solved my problem, no more red envelopes!
Be
sure to change it back when you're finished.

I'd say you've exhausted my "useful" suggestions at this point! I do
just
know that (a) some printers use the color cartridge to print envelopes
so
that (b) being able to prit documents in black is no guarantee that you
can
print envelopes in black. But if you've replaced both cartridges, then
this
seems unlikely to be the issue. The only other thing I can suggest is
that
you change the font color of the Envelope Address and Envelope Return
styles
from Auto to Black and see if that makes any difference.

Yes, I replaced both. I do not understand why the documents print in
black
and the envelopes print in red if it is a cartridge problem?

Insanely, sometimes the color cartridge doesn't print properly when
the
black cartridge is out of ink and vice versa. Have you tried
replacing
both?

I changed ink cartridges and my documents still print in black and
the
envelopes print in red ?

For reasons unknown, some inkjet printers use composite black
(made
up
of
the colors in the color cartridge) instead of true black (from
the
black
cartridge) for envelopes and other smaller paper sizes. When
your
"black"
starts coming out red (or blue or green), it's usually a sign
that
the
balance of inks in the color cartridge is no longer even, and
you
will
soon
need to replace it.

When I print envelope addresses, they print in red ink instead
of
black
even
though the document prints in black. I have changed the
envelope
font
color
to black by default and it still prints red.
