According to my research, your Canon MX700 printer may be set to print in Black and White colors by default. You have to disable this settings to allow your printer to print in color. I have researched instructions that you should follow.

Click Start, then Control Panel
Click Printers and Other Hardware
Click Printers and Faxes
Locate the Deskjet printer
Right-click the printer icon
Click Printing Preferences
Select "Print in gray scale" in one of the tabs
