Gundam & Figma Stop Motion

Color mode was changed from color because of a conflict with another printer setting

Using a Windows 11 PC, I was printing just fine to a WIFI direct printer HP 4520. All of a sudden, the printer would not print color nor could I change Monochrome to Color in the printer options. I would get the message that is the title of this post.

Went back to printing color after I did these things.

Go back to Printers and Scanners in settings

Did not remove default 4520 printer

Find Printer | List WIFI Direct Printers | Help me find an old printer

Once found, select option to reinstall/replace driver
