Recently I had changed my router and printer was not connecting wirelessly after that.  Then I had to reinstall device driver and after that my printer is not printing in color.  It prints everything in black and white only.  Quality settings under Set Preference is also not found to change to color mode.  Need help urgently.

Hi @MilanAndipara

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the  "not printing in color" issue. 

 

Are you able to make color copies using the printer?

What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or device? 

 

Meanwhile, try the steps below-

 

Check the print settings for your print job in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.

  1. In the software application you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.

    The Print window opens.

  2. Open the Properties dialog box.

    Depending on the software application, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

  3. Depending on your print job, you might consider modifying the following settings:

    • Paper Type: If you are printing on photo paper, select the type of photo paper you are attempting to print on.

    • Print Quality: If you are dissatisfied with the quality of your printouts, increase the print quality. To print more quickly, decrease the print quality. These options typically include Best, Normal, and Draft modes.

    • Paper Size: If you are printing on a different size of paper than you normally print on, select the correct paper size.

    • Black and White: If you want to print in black and white only, select the grayscale option.

  4. After selecting the print settings, click OK to apply the settings, and then click Print.

  5. Select Color or Black & White on the Paper/Quality tab

    On the Color or Features tab, or in Advanced Options, click the menu next to Print in Grayscale and select Off for color prints,

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
