Product: OfficeJet 3830
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
My printer Officejet 3830 (model K7V40A) no longer prints in color over WiFi. The option to choose in printing preferences between Monochrome or Color is completely missing. This setting appears to have vanished after some Microsoft Updates within the past few months. I normally use monochrome and can't ascertain exactly which MS patch started the issue.
If I go to a USB connection, it appears again
Here's the list of things I've tried with NO success multiple times.
- I've run HP Print and Scan Doctor
- Uninstalled at root level and loaded latest HP software per these prior posts

- I've tried changing it from USB to wireless connection https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03418489 to see if it would resolve, and no luck
