open Internet explorer>click tools>click Internet options>click advanced tab>scroll down under printing>& put a check mark for print color backgrounds
What driver?
Sometimes there are 2 drivers, PCL% and PCL6, and often the PCL6 one does not support colour.

Other than that, check the print driver>advanced tab>printing defaults, ensure that is set to colour
