If you haven't installed(or even if you have, reinstalling is worth a try), install the drivers for your printer from here: https://support.hp.com/us-en?openCLC=true

Just select Windows XP and it will get you the drivers for you. It should help with configuring color printing for your printer without any problems. If you need a reference on printing in color, check here (Page 19):
