Hi thank you for reply

my Dialog page is nothing like the one you show the only option is black draft or black on presets. Do not have printer features? Or any of the others shown below printer Features on your page

The difference I would think is with the Mac not HP Printer? What do you think?

Thanks for those suggestions. In teh event teh fix proved to be very easy. In the print options dialogue box I spotted that under 'Printers' there were actually two HP 5546. I have since been told that teh first is perhaps a temporary version available during start up, but teh second one was the full install. Once I deleted the first one, and therefore made the second one the default, printing in colour worked immediately! Thanks
