Hello, the printer / scanner (3760 DeskJet) doesn`t print/scan color. The cartridge is full though and a hp-test-page did show color. When I try to print a pdf or a sheet from pages, I get a black and white preview and the print is also in b/w. I already tried to de- and reinstall the printer, unfortunately without success. Does anybody know the answer? Thank you in advance.

@Barbet, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
I understand you are not able to print in color from your Mac.
- Which application are you trying to print from? Are you using the HP Smart app?
- Have you tried printing different types of documents like a different PDF file, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
- Try making a standalone color copy from the flatbed glass and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.
