Hey there! @KJCOWBOY, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!
I understand you have issues printing color from your printer.
Don't worry I will try to help you out.
Did you make any changes to your printer?
Are you able to make a color copy from your printer?
Please try the steps recommended below.
Clean the printhead
The printhead could be clogged, and you might need to clean the printhead several times to restore print quality. Use an automated tool from the printer control panel to clean the printhead.
CAUTION:
Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing. Make sure you replace any missing ink cartridges as soon as possible to avoid print quality issues and possible extra ink usage or damage to the ink system. To avoid issues that require cleaning the printhead, always turn the printer off with the Power button on the printer itself.
Load plain white paper into the tray.
On the printer control panel, touch the right arrow to display more options.
Touch Setup, and then touch Tools. The Tools Menu displays.
Touch Clean Printhead.
Wait while the printer completes the printhead cleaning process, and then touch OK.
NOTE:
You might have to clean the printhead several times to correct the issue.

Have a beautiful day ahead!
Take Care! 🙂
