Switching between color and black and white printing on HP LaserJet Pro M252dw

[jimpanagas]

Help! I have somehow switched my printer to print in black and white mode only. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to switch back to color printing. Anyone have any ideas? I have looked at every printer option dialog box but can't seem to fix the problem.

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 This seems to be a print setting related issue, Let's try the below steps to resolve the same: 

1. Open a document, photo, or webpage, click File, and then click Print to open the print dialog.

2. If a Show Details button displays at the bottom of the dialog, click it to reveal all available menu options. The button changes to Hide Details when clicked.

   

3. Select your printer in the Printer menu.

4. Select an option in the Presets menu that applies to your print job or paper type. Ex: Default settings or choose color

5. Click the unnamed print options menu at the separator bar to display more settings options.

   

6. Change any print job settings

• Print in color or black and white: Select or de-select Black & White on the main dialog. The Presets menu also includes color and black and white options.

Let me know if this works
