@IVAN198, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP ENVY 6055e All-in-One Printer! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

Here are several steps you can take to resolve the problem of your HP ENVY 6055e All-in-One Printer not printing in color:

Check Printer Settings:

  • Ensure that your printer settings are configured to print in color.
  • On your computer, go to the "Print" dialog box, select your HP ENVY 6055e printer, and check the settings to ensure the color option is selected.

Check Ink Cartridges:

  • Make sure that your color ink cartridges are properly installed and have sufficient ink.
  • If the ink levels are low, consider replacing the color cartridges.

Run a Print Quality Diagnostic:

  • From the printer's control panel, run a print quality diagnostic to ensure that there are no issues with the ink cartridges or the printhead.

Update Printer Drivers:

  • Ensure you have the latest drivers for your HP ENVY 6055e printer. You can download and install the latest drivers from the HP support website.

Printer Maintenance:

  • Perform any necessary printer maintenance such as cleaning the printhead or aligning the cartridges. This can often resolve color printing issues.

Check Software Settings:

  • Confirm that the software application you are using to print the tax forms is set to print in color.

Reset the Printer:

  • Sometimes resetting the printer can resolve unexpected issues. Turn off the printer, disconnect it from the power source, wait a few minutes, reconnect it, and turn it on.

Hope this helps!  

  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
