Bonjour,

Mon imprimante refuse d'imprimer en couleur.

(HP Prodesk 400), dans les préférences d'impression le choix noir ou couleur n'existe plus alors que sur mon autre pc il existe (Hp envy).

Désinstaller l'imprimante n'y change rien.

Cordialement.

Hello,

My printer refuses to print in color.

(HP Prodesk 400), in the printing preferences the choice of black or color no longer exists whereas on my other pc it exists (Hp envy).

Uninstalling the printer does not change this.

Cordially.
