How can I get my printer to print in color? It is brand new and the demo page prints in color but everything else prints in BW.

Windows 10 often defaults the driver to a monochrome state. This is a common issue and easy to resolve. On your computer, go to control panel>devices and printers and right click on the icon for your printer and select printer properties from the drop down menu. Then go to the device settings tab and scroll down to installable options until you find the "device type" option and change it from auto or mono to color.
