    Does this printer print colour?

    Hi guys just wanted to double check if this canon printer prints colour that I just got for free. Cheers.

    My printer ( Dell p513w) will not print in colour

    Hi, Thanks for your help, your instructions were clear and concise.

    I ran through it all and did as you suggested and while this has greatly improved the overall print quality and the printer now correctly reads ink levels, I still cannot print in colour.

    Have you any further suggestions ?

    No colour printing after Windows 10 upgrade

    Hello

    I am running 64-bit Windows 10 and Office 365 with automatic updates. The most recent updates were installed on 16 June 2017.

    I have lost all colour printing on my HP CP5225 networked printer. Everything prints in grayscale, regardless of the print settings. The printer itself is OK and my wife (who is still using Windows 7) can print to it in colour across our network.

    This is a very recent fault but I am not sure exactly when it started. Previously I had no difficulty colour printing under Windows 10.

    I have tried deleting and re-installing the printer. This made no difference to the fault.

    In Device Manager the CP5225 has a print queue, it is listed as a printer, and as a WSD print device. Previously it was working OK on a TCP/IP port. I am not sure when Windows switched this over, or how to switch it back. We have several networked printers.

    What do you suggest to restore colour printing?
