Hi @Sheila861

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

Did you try to install the printer using the TCP/IP port as mentioned in my previous post?

Kindly try the steps provided and let me know how it goes.

 

Keep me posted.

Using the IP address of the printer did work! Thank you for this suggestion!

No. I did not think I would be able to do this myself. I am 86 and have nobody to help at the moment with not being able to have  visitors. After looking on Youtube I think I am willing to have a go.

No  , I didn't try as I was worried about doing it.  I did try following Youtube but I got an error message. I used print and scan doctor and it curedit.

I have tried everything in the thread, including the "Hostname" option, nothing is working. Again, if I print a test page...it prints in color. If I print the printer information from the printer, it prints in color. However, no matter what program I print from, it is still printing in grayscale. I have a box that says "Print in Grayscale", it is not selected. HELP, I am burning through the black ink trying to get this to work. It was printing in color a week ago.
