HP Officejet D145 printer problem

[thebigdishman]

Hi everyone

This is one of those irritating technical problems that probably has a simple solution. It's just that neither HP nor I can see what it is. So your help would be very much appreciated.

I have an HP Officejet D145 combined scanner, copier, fax and printer.

I run Windows XP-Pro on an ageing Acer laptop, (yes I know it's time to change).

The printer happily copies in colour, scans in colour, the fax works fine, but it always prints from the computer in black and white. I have checked every setting on both printer and computer and nothing seems to make any difference. I have reinstalled the drivers - no change.

Any suggestions please?

Have you tried to print color from different applications, or just one? Try printing from 2 different applications, preferably from different manufacturers as well, one from Photoshop, one from Publisher, or something like that and let us know what you get.
