Hi @SHARON-541 ,
Welcome to the HP Support-Community.
Can you start a colored copy on the printer's panel?

have you printed from the same program (e.g. Office, Adobe Acrobat) every time?
I am sure we'll find the problem!😊
Cheers!

Hi. Thank you for your reply
Yes it's fine when doing a colour copy, I have tried all different programs and it still only prints in black and white so I think it might be a laptop problem. I have a hp laptop

Hi,
Try following below version of the HP Print and Scan Doctor Utility by selecting your printer:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/hppsdr/patches/HPPSdr.exe
Be sure to restart your PC and allow the utility to complete the process, then check for any difference.
Try printing and check for any change, if the same remains try printing using the newly added print queue copy and check.
