    PDFs do not print in color. I'm using Windows 10 and have a color printer and my document is in color. Viewing the document in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (and also in print preview), it shows it in color. "Print in grayscale" is NOT selected. I am able to print the document in color if I open and print through Photoshop. If there is a PDF found online (where I can print through viewing the PDF in my browser without saving it), it still prints in black and white. When I save the PDF to my hard drive, then try printing from Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, it still prints in black and white. My printer has the latest driver and I have the latest Acrobat update. Its not just one document, it's all PDFs. How do I get it to print in color again? This has been going on for months.

    Figured it out! It really was the printer driver. Even though I installed the latest driver for my HP color laser printer, I had to go into the printer properties, then "Advanced" tab and selected the recent driver name from the drop down menu under "driver". Apparently, it didn't do it automatically! Everything is printing in color, again.
