I recently purchased a new Mac, and since connecting to my existing wireless HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile All-In-One, my Print Dialog Box does not give me an option to print in color. I don't even have a Media & Quality tab.
iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)
Hello BeckyMcD,
This page will help with printing documents from the Mac: Print documents from your Mac - Apple Support
1. With a document open on your Mac, choose File > Print, or press Command-P.
The Print dialog opens, with a preview of your printed document. Click the arrows above the preview to scroll through the pages.
Tip: To view a full-size preview in the Preview app, click the PDF pop-up menu, then choose Open PDF in Preview.
2. If the settings in the Print dialog are fine as is, click Print, and you’re done. Otherwise, continue to step 3.
3. To adjust the printing options, choose any of the following common print settings (you may need to click Show Details to see more print options):
•Printer: Choose the printer you want to use. If the printer you want isn’t available, you can add one. See Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it. If you see an icon next to the printer you want to use, there may be an issue you need to resolve. See Check if a printer is working or has a problem.
•Presets: Choose a preset for the printer to use with your document. A preset is a group of print settings. In most cases you can use the default settings, but you can also choose a group of settings you’ve saved from a previous print job. See Save frequently used print settings to use later.
•Copies: Specify the number of copies you want. To print all pages of a document before the next copy prints, click Show Details, click the print options pop-up menu, choose Paper Handling, then select “Collate pages.”
•B & W (or Black and White): Select to print in black and white, if your printer has this capability.
•Two-Sided: Select this to print on both sides of the paper (also called duplexing or double-sided printing), if your printer has this capability.
•Pages: Choose to print all pages, a single page, or a range of pages.
•Orientation: Click the buttons to switch between portrait or landscape orientation.
Cheers.
