Windows 10: Problem printing in greyscale

I am using an Epson XP-8700 six-colour inkjet with Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.I have a colour picture that I took and have printed in colour with no difficulty. I am now trying to print the same picture in greyscale from Visio. I am using Visio because I need to put the picture in a specific position for it to work in a photoframe - exactly as I did in colour - and add a caption below. I am using Epson Premium Glossy A4 paper.Whenever I print the picture it comes out in a sort of sunset red colour - one might call it redscale as it still has gradient. I have tried printing directly from photo softw

Surface Pro won't print in color

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while trying to print in color while using Surface Pro.​​ As you have mentioned that you are able to print in greyscale, it is possible that printer settings are set to print in greyscale. We will certainly assist
you with this issue.



However, we would like to know the details requested below:

• What is the make and model of the printer that you are using?
  
• Which application are you are using to print?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  

I would suggest you to check the printing preferences and check if the Print in Gray Scale option is enabled. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control printers and click on
   OK.
   
3. Right click on the Printer that you are using, and select
   Printing Preferences.
   
4. Navigate to the Color tab and select the option
   Print in color. (If you do not see Color tab, you may want to check the
   Advanced options and check if Print in Grayscale is
   off.)
   
5. Click on OK and check if you are able to print in color.
   

Let us know how it goes.
