SolihullRog Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I have suddenly encountered a problem whereby I cannot print colour pictures. It affects all my software applications but is clearest when using Paint.Net. The problem. Whenever I try to print a picture, it always comes out in black and white. I have tried Photoshop and Faststone Image Viewer in particular. But Paint.Net gives me the clearest clues. I open a colour picture in Paint.Net, and choose File > Print. My Print dialogue contains 'printers' which include Adobe PDF, Microsoft PDF, SnagIt, OneNote - all of which show a coloured print preview. But when I want to send it to a real printer (HP ENVY 4520 Series) the preview changes to B&W. The picture then prints in B&W. This has only just started happening, today, and I haven't changed any application. Test prints from the printer come out in perfect colour. Can anyone understand why?

BoltBait Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 On the print screen, click "Options", then on the options screen click "Printer properties". You'll need to change the "Print in grayscale" option to "off".

SolihullRog Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) You don't state which application I should be in to click "Options", then "Printer Properties". None of my applications, including Paint.NET, has such an option. Edited December 6, 2022 by SolihullRog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolihullRog Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Thanks for your help. It's cleared now. As I described, the problem affected all other apps as well as Paint.Net. So I zapped everything relating to my printed and re-installed. The problem was still there. But I had read several internet 'solutions' to the problem. I applied them all. At the end, it was fixed. I don't know which 'solution' fixed it. Edited December 18, 2022 by SolihullRog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
