@Troy21, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Try making a standalone copy in color of a picture and check if that prints fine(Important). By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.
Check the estimated ink levels and replace any low/empty ink cartridge.
Perform steps 5 and 4 respectively from this document - Color or Black Ink Not Printing
Try printing different types of documents like PDF, word, or a web page in color and check the result.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
