  1. Unable to print color


    I am unable to print color anymore. The test page prints in color and shows good levels of ink, but no matter what program I use, I can't seem to get it to print in color. One of the programs looked like it defaulted to B&W and when I changed it to color, it said something about it being in conflict with the app and would change it back to B&W. I am using a laptop HP computer and the HP Officejet 4650. I checked drivers and it said I already had the best driver. Not sure what to do. Thank you for any advice that will fix this problem.

    :)

  3. Color printing

    Although printer states it's printing in color, and it shows up in print preview, pages are only printed in black and white. This started with Windows 10. It was working fine prior to that. Any suggestions?
