I saw a question with the same issue but the solution offered did not work
Fact:
- In the first few days after installation, iOS printing through HP smart works great, i.e able to Print by choosing color or B/W, quality (draft, normal etc.)
Problems:
- After less than a week, printing through HP Smart iOS does not show option of Color and B/W
- When printing, the picture preview shows B/W but the printing output is color
- Uses Draft quality but seems to use awful lot of ink (the paper feels soggy due to generous use of ink)
- Printing though iPad iOS even mark PDF as not supported though HP Smart Print app. Printing through Adobe works but still no option of color or B/W
- Printing through windows is not a problem choosing B/W or Draft quality
- Same issues with all 3 iOS device (iPhone X, iPhone XS, Ipad Air 3). Issue in iPad Air 3 worse as it says PDF printing is not supported. File in in apple Files App. All Devices with latest OS (13.3)
- Tried to update Printer Firmware. It says already the most updated
- Printer is connected to the internet
- All the remote printing setup up on on (i.e. Wifi Direct Print, AirPrint, EWS Print, Google Cloud Print)
Troubleshooting done:
- Tried to restore the Printer to Factory Default
- Tried to restore printer network setting to default
- Delete and Re-install HP Smart Print app in Apple iPhones & ipad
- Tried to restart all the devices with combination of above steps
- Tried all the setting in iOS HP smart app, Windows HP smart app, and Web app
- Tried pulling the plug of the printer
- Tried restarting the wifi router
None of the above attempt works.
