Thank you for the answer!
Let me know when this issue first appears. Maybe you updated your printer software.

Could I ask you to open the app that you used to use to print files? like Word app
And open any file to print
Click Print. The Print dialog box opens.

I just printed a weather app . The color was good but the black and white faded out.

Could I ask you to open the "Print" option one more time, but not to print, I will provide you with further steps, ok?

  • Please, open any file, Click Print. The Print dialog box opens.
  • Click the Properties button. The Properties dialog box opens.
  • Check the options on the property tabs to make sure that the appropriate color options are selected.
  • If there is a checkmark in the box by Print in Grayscale, click in the box to remove the checkmark, and then click OK.
  • Try printing again.

Is everything clear with the provided instruction?
