Windows 10: How do I get my printer to continue to print in color when I change the printing properties...

I have an hp3830 anytime I click on properties or advanced to change the print quality from normal to best; my printer stops printing in color. It also does this if I change the paper type as well. In order for it to start printing in color again; I have to uninstall and reinstall the printer. I am using windows 11 but it was doing this when I was using windows 10 as well. How do I get my printer to continue to print in color when I change the printing properties from the default settings??

HP printer Teflon Change (Printing speed decrease)

Hp printer Teflon is damaged (Due to this paper get wear out while printing ) so i take the printer to the shop and the person changes the Teflon but after changing the Teflon the print out of the paper problem get solved. But as my printer can print 11-12 pages per minute but now it is only printing 3 pages per minute (The time that consume during print is due to the sucking of the page in the printer after sucking of the page in the printer the speed is ok).

Can some one please confirm is this possible due to the Teflon change.
