HP Color LaserJet CP2020 prints a colour document in black and white

Inspect the driver's Print in Grayscale setting before assuming a colour cartridge has failed. The source document and application settings also matter.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Inspect the driver's Print in Grayscale setting before assuming a colour cartridge has failed. The source document and application settings also matter.

Understand the issue

Use a small page containing obvious coloured shapes. Compare a known colour document with the troublesome file, and distinguish a setting applied to one print job from a saved printer preference. Keep evidence of the current settings before changing them.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Confirm the file actually contains colour.
  2. Review the CP2020 driver's colour and grayscale choices.
  3. Print one controlled test from the application.

Does a colour thumbnail prove the printer received a colour job?

No. Print settings can convert the job to grayscale.
