how to print in color

I do not understand how to print in color. Instructions I find do not correspond with the available choices on my printer. Unless I just don't understand.

@ntaylornyc, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

First, let us try making a color copy on the printer and check if that works. Place a color document on the scanner glass, close the lid.

Tap the copy option on the printer screen, select color copy.

Now, follow these steps to print in color from your iOS device:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on, ink cartridges are installed, and plain paper is loaded in the main tray.

2. Open the item you want to print, and then tap the Share icon  or  .

3. Tap Print or the Print icon  to open Printer Options.

4. Tap Select Printer to select your printer.

5. Change any of the following print job settings. Available settings vary depending on the app you are printing from, the print job type, and your printer.

   • Paper: Make any paper size changes on the printer. AirPrint automatically detects the paper size loaded in the printer or the size selected on the printer control panel. If the detected size is different than the paper in the tray, an error might display asking to confirm the size.

   • Number of copies: Select how many copies you want to print.

   • Black & White: Select to print in grayscale. This option only displays for color printers. For color printing, this option should not be activated.

   • Double-sided printing: Print on both sides of the paper for certain file types.

   • Page range: Select specific pages within a document or webpage to print.
