I'm trying to print color photos from my mac with my HP Envy 6055 and they're coming out black and white. How do I get color? It copies color nicely--just not from the laptop.

Hi @belbook,

 

I'd like to help!

 

Find and change printing settings printing in color or black and white.

  1. Open a document, photo, or webpage, click File, and then click Print to open the print dialog.

  2. If a Show Details button displays at the bottom of the dialog, click it to reveal all available menu options. The button changes to Hide Details when clicked.

  3. Select your printer in the Printer menu.

  4. Select an option in the Presets menu that applies to your print job or paper type.

  5. Click the unnamed print options menu at the separator bar to display more settings options.

    Unnamed print options pop-up menu

  6. Change any print job settings.

    • Print in color or black and white: Select or de-select Black & White on the main dialog. The Presets menu also includes color and black and white options.

  7. To save your settings for future print jobs, click the Presets menu, and then select Save Current Settings as Preset

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
