Hi
We are using a new MacBook Pro (Monterey) with a HP C4480. New cartridges. The printer scans color and prints color fine. When attempting to print a photo in color we open phot, selects print and on the final screen the picture appears gray scale and prints black and white. I’ve installed a new driver and rebooted the Mac as well as reset of the printer.
Appreciate any help in resolving this problem.
Best wishes

Please follow the steps listed below to reset printing systems and then add the printer.
