              Remove and reload the driver.

                Sounds like you need to call a technician to help you.

                  Network, USB or parallel printing?

                  What OS?

                  PCL or Postscript driver?

                  Try a different PDF program, Adobe has been getting flakey as far as printing to color boxes.

                  Try right clicking the file and print directly to printer without opening reader.

                  Make the 5550 the default printer.

                  Download latest and greatest driver, but don't replace older driver.

                  Check firmware levels

                  Just some thoughts and common solutions.

                  Why do they call it common sense?

                  If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

                        There have been issues with pdf files and print drivers. Delete the current print driver, reboot, and install the latest one. Update to latest firmware. Sometimes this has to be done twice for it to take. If you are not a technician and you are updating firmware, follow HP's instructions on their website EXACTLY. Failure to do it correctly will render your printer inoperable. Or save yourself the trouble and get a trained technician.
                        Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

                          Are you using OEM cartridges? The pages that are printing, are they just Black and white? Send a word document with color printing.
