HP Envy 4524 doesn't print in colour since Windows 11

[KElly96cbio]

Hello everyone, 

Hope someone can help me.

I have a HP ENvy 4524 printer, and since the update to Windows 11, it doesn't print in colour anymore (I can still make colour copys).

Other people that print on this printer and don't have yet uypdated to Windows 11 don't have this issue, and can still print normally.

Don't know what to do anymore, but really want to avoid buying a new printer as long as this one is still working.

Thank you in advance for the time taken to read me.

Have a nice day

Hi @KElly96cbio 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

After upgrading to Windows 11, your printer no longer works as expected. Uninstall then reinstall the printer software and drivers to continue using the printer.

In Windows, search for and open Check for updates, and then wait while Windows searches for and automatically installs any available updates.

If Windows found and installed updates, send a print or scan job to see if the issue is resolved. If the printer works, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.

If Windows did not find any updates, continue with these steps.

Turn off the printer.

If you use the HP Smart app, remove the printer from the app.

Open the app, right-click the printer icon, and then click Hide Printer.

In Windows, search for and open Add or remove programs.

In the list of installed programs, find the name of your printer.

If the name of your printer is in the list, click Uninstall, and then follow the prompts.

NOTE:

If the uninstall fails, use the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter (in English), and then try uninstalling again.

If the printer name is not in the list, continue with these steps.

If you use the HP Smart app, find it in the list of programs, click Uninstall, and then follow the prompts.

Restart the computer and turn on the printer.

In Windows, search for and open Printers & scanners, and then find the name of your printer.

If your printer is in the list, select it, and then click Remove device > Yes.

If your printer is not in the list, continue to the next step.

On the printer control panel, check the Wireless light .

If the Wireless light is not blinking, you are done. Download and install the latest printer software and drivers from 123.hp.com.

If the Wireless light is blinking, continue with these steps.

Restore Wi-Fi setup mode.

Most printers with a touchscreen display or menu: Open the Wireless or Setup menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.

Printers without a touchscreen display or menu: Go to Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer to restore default settings by pressing the buttons on your printer.

Download and install the latest printer software and drivers from 123.hp.com.
