@Micwood, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand the printer is not printing in color.

 

Try making a standalone copy in color from the flatbed glass and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

 

Check the ink levels and replace any low/empty ink cartridges. 

Perform the steps mentioned in this document - No black ink, wrong colors, other print quality issues

Clean the ink cartridges up to 2 times and print a quality report to check the result. 

 

Update the printer firmware

Check the print settings on the app you are using to print. Ensure color printing is enabled.

Alternatively, use the Airprint driver to print to check the result. Refer to - Print Settings Guide (Mac)

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

In this case, I'm afraid this is a hardware issue. 

Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service/replacement options. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
