  1. printer won't print in color


    my hp printer won't print in color without reinstalling the printer each time on my new Lenovo laptop. It prints from EVERY other device with NO problems. it only prints in black and white from this one. Can't figure out why. everyone says it sounds like it's missing a driver but have yet to find anyone who can fix it.

    :)

  2. printer is not printing in color

    My printer is not printing photos in color anymore. There used to be an icon giving me the option for color or black and white. I admit I havn`t used my printer to print photos in months but this is a new one on me.

    access color printing options for printer

    Hello Frank,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, I understand that the images printed in Windows are in black and white format.

    To be able to assist you better, let us know if you are able to print documents in other formats in color format.

    As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to open the Print dialog box in Windows to access the settings for color profiles used in printer.

    • Use the keyboard shortcuts Windows Logo + R to open the Run Command Dialog box
    • Type in the command: shellprinter won't print in color :printersFolder
    • Right-clicking on the printer and open the printer preferences, where you can choose options such as paper size and layout.

    • Select Print color which gives you options for Color or black-and-white (grayscale) prints.

    Write to us with the updated information. If you need further assistance, we would be happy to help you.

    Thank you.
