I have this same problem, which started today for some reason. I followed all the instructions and installed the drivers again, but the problem still exists.
Interestingly, if I attached the printer by USB, the option to print in colour is there, but if I go wireless, there is not option for colour in the Paper/Quality tab of the Printing Preferences.
I have a wireless printer for a reason. I don't want to have to be next to my printer to print to it. What's going on?!

I got this from HP in Jan - used again in April and it still worked - but for the ENVY 5544 - I have cut and pasted it.
Try the below steps to resolve the issue,
- Press "Windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window.
- Type "services.msc" to get Services - Go to "Print spooler" - Right-click and "Stop" the service.
- Now again open "Run" - Type "spool" and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.
- Go to services again - Start the print spooler.
- Now check for issue resolution.
- If the issue persists, unplug the USB cable from the printer (if present).
- Go to Control panel - Programs and feature - Select all the HP printer entries and uninstall them.
- Now go to Control panel - Devices and printer - Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
- Press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" (There is a space between .exe & /) and press enter.
- Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
- Again, go to the Run window, type - "c:/programdata" - Go to the Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
- Restart your computer.
Then, use this link to access the HP website, find the drivers compatible with your windows and install it: click here
