Hi @Djohnnie,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!  It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel!

I see that you are trying to change the print settings so that you can print in color. I’d suggest you reset the printing system to its default state. Here are the steps:

 

Click the Apple menu icon, and then click “System Preferences”.

Click “Printers and Scanner” / “Print and Scan” or “Print and Fax”.

Right-click the blank space in the Printers list, and then click “Reset printing system”.

Click “Reset” in the confirmation window.

Enter an administrator username and password, and then click “OK”.

Wait until the printing system is reset and no devices show in the Printers list

 

Restart your computer and then go back to System preferences – Printers and scanners.

Click the “Add button” (+).

Find, and then select the name of your printer from the printer list, and then click “Add” to add your printer.

Click “Print Using...”, and then select the name of your printer (By default “Airprint” would be selected)

 

For more assistance, please go through this link: HP Printers - Print Driver Settings Guide (Mac)

 

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!

 

Let me know if those steps worked for you.

If they did, that’s awesome!

Give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,

That’ll help us and others see that we’ve got the answers!

Good Luck.

Thank you very much. Deleting all printers, reboot and add the printer again solved the problem.
