HP DeskJet 2630 All-in-One Printer

Printer has all of a sudden stopped printing in colour when printing from a iPad or iPhone. The options to choose to print in colour has also disappeared from the print preview on both iPad and iPhone. I have searched online and seen plenty of people with the same issue but no fix why is this being ignored? Is this a hp problem or a iOS problem? The printer will print in colour using a windows 10 laptop just fine. This is frustrating and has being going since the end of November (does iOS 16 have something do with this)

When printing from a iPad or iPhone using iOS 16 there is no option to print in colour.

 

As I said in my previous post the printer is fine otherwise and will print from both a windows 10 laptop and desk top in colour.

I’ve tried all these but it’s still not printing in colour from my iPad or phone, it’s like the last iOS update removed colour printing.
