My printer used to print in color, automatically. Then one day, my laptop couldn't find it. I came here found the appropriate driver and the troubleshooter did all of that. It coincided during the period that HP was working on the site here, so I couldn't reach out for help. But then a few months ago, it was found and printed as it should. Now, just last month, it only prints in black and white. I changed the ink, even though it didn't need to be yet, and still black and white. I've gone into the settings on my laptop, chosen printer there is no option panel seen for printer color choices? Even if I print and click on the printer icon that pops up the panel, it only shows how many jobs are working and not the usual features of ink levels, color preferences etc.
How do I get it to print in color? Where is the option for it?
Settings/Devices/ Printer/ HPEnvy 5540 series/Manage
open print queue
print test page
printer properties
printer preferences
hardware properties
I have opened ALL of these clicking even on the ADVANCED to see if the option to print in color, and there is NOTHING like it there. Within the Printer PROPERTIES there is COLOR MANAGEMENT and I thought finally! But No, that appears to be for monitor adjustment.
So why is this so difficult to find? It should give you the option when choosing to print, right?
The virtual agent here offers no help. I mention color and it gives me how to print in black and white. Is there no live chat here either?
I'm frustrated trying to figure out this simple thing.
