HP ENVY 6055 All-In-One Printer
macOS 11.0 Big Sur

HP ENVy 6055 does not have option to print color or black and white from print menu.  Its just a simple print menu which only prints in black.  When I print from my iPhone, i have the option to select B&W or color.  Not sure why I don't have this option on my MacBook.

Hi @Vargas23,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are unable to print in color -

 

I believe we can enable color printing from the print dialogue window. Here is how to do it:

1.) Open the document or photo you want to print, click File, click Print, and then click Show Details, if necessary.

2.) Uncheck  Black & White on the main dialog.

Select Black & White in the print dialog

 

3.) Click Print.

 

If in case the option is not available, then try the following steps to enable Black ink only printing:

1.) Open the document you want to print, click File, click Print, and then click Show Details, if necessary.

2.) Click the unnamed print options menu at the separator bar to display more settings options.

 

3.) Select Paper Type/Quality.

 

4.) Click Color Options.

 

5.) Select color 

 

6.) Click Print.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
