How do I change the color of ink that prints out of my HP Deskjet 820Cse for Windows? e.g. red instead of black. |

As far as I know, the 820 is a Windows only PPA printer that does not contain a PCL interpreter; therefore, the application and the printer driver have to do it for you.
For example, in MS Word or MS Publisher you can select text color under FORMAT -> FONT -> FONT COLOR.
For PCL inkjets, there is the foreground color command in the form
<esc>*v#S
where the # is the index value for the color. Legal values are: 0 - Black 1 - Cyan 2 - Magenta 3 - Blue 4 - Yellow 5 - Green 6 - Red
If you wand Red text the enter <esc>*v6S and then later should you want black text... <esc>*v0S
