Hi @chevy_bretbret,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

 

I see that you are facing an issue with printing in colour on your Printer.

 

Are you able to make a colour copy on the printer standalone? (Placed a colour document on the scanner glass and make a colour copy to confirm). 

If that works, the hardware is working fine.

 

Request you to follow the below steps to fix the issue.

 

Uninstall the printer software by following the steps from this link and restart the device on which you do not get the colour settings.

Install the printer software by clicking on the link again.

Or

Install the printer with Windows built-in driver.

You can refer to this document to install the printer.

 

Please click “Accepted Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution. Click the “Kudos/Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!

 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a great day ahead!

This did not work.  SO then I repeated uninstall and completely scrubbed envy 4520 from the registry.    Then lets window install.  Still does not solve.    From printer screen the print quality test prints color.  one other test doc from the printer menu prints color.   Everything else prints colors as grayscale.

And print preferences does not contain a B&W or grayscale selection options.  checked all tabs plus advanced settings.
