I have a new HP Officejet 3830 that I installed last week. Has been working fine until the latest Windows 10 update this week. Now when I right click a document to print - it appears in black in white on the preview screen and will only print in black and white. I uninstalled the HP Printer software and reinstalled it along with the latest driver. That didn't help.
