Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

 

As I understand you are unable to print in color through wifi (Network),

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor?

 

While you respond to that, here are a few things you can do to resolve your concern:

If you've complete the test using the HP PSC Doctor and yet the issue persists,

 

I recommend you delete the driver at the root level and retry, follow the steps below: 

 

1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features 

2.) Select your HP Printer 

3.) Select Uninstall 

4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers 

5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose `Delete' or `Remove Device' 

6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo. 

7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between "printui.exe" and "/s") 

8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab 

9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom 

10.) Select Ok 

11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows 

12.) Close Devices and Printers 

  

Then, Click here to access the HP website, find the drivers compatible with your windows and install it.

 

Keep me posted,

If the information I've provided was helpful, 

Give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons, 

That'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck.

hey,

even after doing the above mentioned steps the issue still exists, the color selection option is available only when the printer is connected via USB but not via network (wi-fI).
