How to Fix HP printer not printing color after windows 10 update

About the video
—–
This video explains why your HP printer is not printing color and printing black and white only. After a recent windows 10 update my printer stopped working and I made this video to help everyone.

I also found this helpful article on the HP website

My Journey
——-
This is a people’s based planet and I’m a people-based-person.

I started making videos on YouTube in 2018 while I lived out of my car. I found hotspots and made short videos to help service based businesses run their marketing. I had a fascinating experience traveling around and house sitting for people before making enough money to find my own place again. My videos started helping hundreds of business owners with simple and effective digital marketing to grow their business online.

    I have tried for days to get my printer to print in color. Staples said 'I need to purchase a New printer", mine is fairly new already.
    I have also looked at one YouTuber, he was going
    100 miles an hour that I couldn't even follow along
    (I consider myself to be a Pretty Smart Person). I have subscribed…Keep doing your Blogs, because you actually know what you're talking about.
    Thank you so much! It was a pleasure…. I'm no longer frustrated with this.❀

  • At first, it did not work, I rebooted the printer and the computer, then it worked, there is no wonder they called the Microsoft software a virus, the computer works great until is automatically updated

  • Wow, is all I can say. Been at my PC going crazy googling why I could not get it print in color for well over an hour. Your hack totally worked… Thank you so much!

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH! I just got a brand new HP Envy 6400e and am using it with an old Macbook Pro that has Catalina on it and HP Smart keeps telling me it can't download the app because it has to have MacOS 11 or higher and mine is a 10 point something. I have tried EVERYTHING to get this to work. But YOUR little easy peasy workaround worked like a charm! THANK YOU so much! You have restored my sanity!
