@AlonzoMosley and @Vi48, which method worked for you?

HP Recommended

~ After going thru the same install/uninstall methods, what-made-this-happen?? dance, etc.

~ After I found the Re: HP Officejet 4650 Won't print in color thread then the original post response solved by a HP technician, I decided to uninstall the printer's basic device driver, reinstall with the Envy drivers basic device driver, then rename the icon for the printer.

Senan6806,

 

Thanks---your solution worked just fine for me.

I do believe that in item 7, the term HP Envy 4500 should read HP Envy 7640?

This is the REAL, WORKABLE solution !!!!

Thank you!!!   HP really needs to stop "fixing" things that don't need to be fixed!

HP Recommended

OMG!!! Thank you! I haven't been able to print in color since I purchased this printer!

I just spent I don't know how much time trying to figure out why my OfficeJet 4655 would not print color.  I finally came across this solution and IT WORKED!!  Thank you so much as I no longer have to waste time getting frustrated and trying to find answers.

The solution solved it, but it has been over a year since the question was asked and they still have not updated the driver for the 4650? Seems like a pretty big issue when a color printer wont print in color.

Thank you so much.  My printer is back printing in color!  Two Thumbs Up!!👍👍
