Hi @Malcolm95,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query.

I am sorry to hear that your printer is not printing in color when using Open Publisher, there may be several reasons for this issue. I would request you to please follow the steps:

Verify Printer Properties in Publisher

• In Publisher, go to File > Print.
• Click Printer Properties (or Preferences).
• Make sure Color or Composite RGB is selected.
• If you only see Grayscale/Monochrome, the driver may not be exposing color options

Update Printer Drivers

• Go to your printer manufacturer’s support site HP
• Download and install the latest full-feature driver package.
• Outdated drivers often cause Publisher to default to grayscale

Check Publisher’s Print Options

• In Advanced Print Settings, confirm:
• Composite RGB is selected.
• Paper type matches what the printer expects.
• If Publisher still doesn’t show color options, reinstalling Publisher or Office may help.

Printer Defaults

• In Windows Settings > Printers & Scanners, select your printer.
• Click Printing Preferences.
• Ensure the default is set to Color.
• Publisher sometimes inherits the system default.

Take care and have an amazing day!
