We have calculated the leading color-octet contributions to the production of {ital J}/{psi} particles in photon-proton collisions. Using the values for the color-octet matrix elements extracted from fits to prompt {ital J}/{psi} data at the Fermilab Tevatron, we demonstrate that distinctive color-octet signatures should be visible in {ital J}/{psi} photoproduction. However, these predictions appear at variance with recent experimental data obtained at HERA, indicating that the phenomenological importance of the color-octet contributions is smaller than expected from theoretical considerations and suggested by the Fermilab Tevatron fits. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
