iPad suddenly doesn’t print in colour

iPad suddenly doesn’t AirPrint in colour- only gives black and white option. Printer ok and prints in colour with HP smart app. Printer and iPad both updated.

Presumably you are attempting to print from your iPad using the native iPadOS Print function - often accessed from an onscreen Share button.

Check that you haven’t selected a Black & White or Greyscale preset within the print options.

Yes I am using Print function from share button, but the only option is black and white as standard. There is no option for colour or Greyscale any more as there used to be.

I am having the exact same problem, contacted HP they say it’s an IOS problem, contacted Apple they say it’s a HP problem! Beyond frustrating!
