Product: HP ENVY 4527 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Hi,
I have a HP printer HP381054 (HP ENVY 4520 Series).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled this printer at least 10 times with the same issue.
Once installed it will not print in colour via my HP Windows 11 laptop.
When I go into the "Printing Preferences" tab and click on the "Paper/Quality" tab the option to select Black & White or Colour isn't there although it was there before!
Hope that is enough information but let me know if anything else is needed.
Please help me as this black & white only option is driving me mad!
Thanks in anticipation
Warren
