HP Recommended
Product: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Originally problem was as this: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn UPD PCL 6 printer started to print only in black and white. Now: Unable to reinstall HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 (32-bit) driver to the printer. 

 

I've checked correct driver versions for the printer. Updated all USB drviers. Tested printer on another device, worked fine. 
Uninstalled current driver and rebooted WS 

After reboot the printer auto-installed itself as Hewlett-PackardHP Color LasrJet 2065dn and will not work. 
Attempting to install HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 will "work", but the printer won't recognize the installation and stays as Hewlett-PackardHP Color LasrJet 2065dn. 
Checking Printer Manager, you can find HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 installed, but not Hewlett-PackardHP Color LasrJet 2065dn 

Tried uninstall instructions from Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 2605 series Printing System Readme, but that did not work out either, was unable to find HP Color LaserJet 2605 series under program groups.

Unable to remove device from Devices and Printers. Right clicking the printer won't give Remove device option. 

 

Only way to remove the printer from computer is to delete all USB drviers the devices uses.
