Windows 10: HP 4650 All In One Printer stopped printing color

Ive have my printer for 1 year now and all of a sudden there is no option in the printer preferences to be able to print color. It disappeared out of no where. I tried downloading drivers and updates but it says my printer is up-to-date.

hp officejet 4650 printer won't print color using windows 10.

I cannot print in color on my windows 10 computer to my HP Officejet 4650 all-in-one printer. I ran test printouts on

the printer itself and it prints in color. I checked my printer settings and color is the default. Yet, anything I print from my

computer only prints in black and white. Any suggestions?
