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
