HP ENVY 6065e All-in-One Printer

I just bought the HP Envy 6065e, and it won't print in color.  The printer panel does not give me an option to switch from b/w to color. All I'm getting is b/w and gray-scale.  I'm using a Macbook, OS13.4.1.   I AM SO FRUSTRATED!!!

Hi @map-c,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP ENVY 6065e All-In-One Printer Not Printing color Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

Let's perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Update the printer firmware 

 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
