Hi @FEM55,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP DeskJet 4258e isn't giving you the option to print in color, it's often due to a driver or settings issue. Here's how you can fix it:

For Windows:

1. Go to "Printers & Scanners"
   • Open Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners
   • Select your HP DeskJet 4258e > click Manage > then Printing Preferences.
      
2. Check Color Settings:
   • In the Printing Preferences window, look for a Color or Advanced tab.
   • Make sure "Print in Grayscale" is unchecked
   • Ensure "Color" or "Automatic" is selected for output.
      
3. Apply & Save:
   • Click Apply and then OK to save changes.

For MacOS:

1. Open the Print Dialogue:
   • When printing, click File > Print from any app.
      
2. Click "Show Details" (if available)
   • Then expand the print settings and select the Color Options or Quality section.
      
3. Choose Color:
   • Make sure Color is selected instead of Black & White or Grayscale.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
