Hi, I'm having the same problem with the envy 4520. When I open devices and printers/printer preferences / Paper/Quality / advanced options, there is no grayscale (or any sort of colour) option on the menu. 

 

The only options on the menu under Printer features are: Pages per sheet layout, Print in Max DPI, Booklet, Pages to Print, Borderless printing. 

 

Any ideas on where I can select the colour option?

I would be happy to help you with your HP Envy 4520 Printer. I understand that you unable to print in color and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting.

 

Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,

 

Uninstall the printer first.

Install the printer with built in driver.
