How to set default printing in black only

Greetings,
I'd like to set my default printing with Firefox at black ink only, which I can do individually prior to printing a page, but it reverts to color after that printing. But if I set the size at, say, 80%, that becomes the default setting, or if I set portrait/landscape for a single printing, that becomes the default setting. Why can't the desired black-ink only setting default like the size/portrait/landscape setting? What I want to do is set the printing permanently at black only, and the size at 100%, but allow one-time printing at landscape or portrait, or sizes less than 100% without those settings becoming the default. How can I do this? Thanks for any help
Best wishes, Tom
I've tried the help solutions on the website to no avail....

Greeting ideato,
Thanks so much for your reply. I've clicked on the Firefox button at upper left, then Print, then Properties, then Advanced, under which is listed Printer Features (I have only 1 printer), below which is a line with Print in Grayscale, clicking on which has has 3 options: Off (apparently default), High quality Grayscale, and Black Ink Only. I click on the latter, and click on OK for this window and others in the sequence, and it'll print in black only for the present printing, but will revert to color for the next printing, 'though like I said, if I change the size to 80% or from portrait to landscape, those settings will remain. I can't figure it out. Again, thanks for any help.
Regards, Tom

  • Setting Default printing as Black only

    I know how to enable printing in black only using printer properties and colour ->greyscale-> in black ink only.But that setting lasts only for that session/ file being printed. If I load another file or another session the default goes back to colour. Even if I make a printing short cut that short cut gets saved but is not the default. I have solved the problem by removing the colour cartridge and the printer prints in black only even if I do not change the setting from "colour". This works but is there any other elegant solution? Regards S S Kini 

    Hi , I see by your post that the black only settings is only working for one session. I would like to help you.
    Did you download and install the HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driveror are you using the preinstalled Windows drivers? I have provided a document for setting the default printer settings for a single job and for all print jobs. Most likely this is the way you have set the black only.HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart Printers and All-in-Ones - Changing Print Settings in Windows 8. If the black only isn't holding the setting in the print driver, I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the print drivers. They might have become corrupted. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • Setting default printer for Black and White

    I have no problem setting up my printer to print black and white only using my pc, but am having difficulty setting the default for the printer on my OSX 10.5.2. I've read the posts and can't locate where this setting is done. I even removed the printer and tried readding it without any success. So, how do I set my HP Officejet to print in black and white as a default and allow me to print in color when needed?

    You could use the built-in presets facility to make a b&w setting and a color setting. Then when you print, you simply select the appropriate preset. Also, the last preset that you use will be the default next time you print, so this can also help speed up your printing.
    Reply if you need instructions for creating presets.
    One final point. Some applications, such as MS Office, have a 'Print One Copy' printer icon in the toolbar. When you use this shortcut, the print dialog is not opened - the file simply prints. For these types of application, the preset is not used so that job will print in color if that is the default printer function. But you can change the toolbar icon function so that it opens the print dialog instead of just printing. Again, if you need instruction then please reply.

  • How to set default printer in CS5

    I've been using Photoshop CS5 x64, in Windows 7 x64, ever since it came out. I print photographs on an Epson Stylus Photo R2400. I also have an HP Laserjet, for printing documents.
    Whenever I am printing photographs, I change the default printer, in Control Panel, Devices & Printers, to the Epson. Until the last couple of weeks, this has always put the Epson in the default position in the 'Printer' field of the Print Dialog.
    But now the printer field always shows the HP Laserjet.
    This isn't true in any other program. MS Word 2010, Adobe Acrobat, Notepad, Opera, Internet Explorer: they all show the Epson as the default printer. So it seems more likely to be a Photoshop problem than a Windows problem.
    I have the latest Photoshop update, and Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I have the latest drivers  (2007) for the Epson. And I've trashed my Photoshop prefs.
    Is there a solution to this problem?
    Thanks
    Mary

    >>If you change the printer in the Photoshop Print dialog, choose [Done], then re-save the PSD, does it come up next time with the proper default?<<
    Well, yes it does, to my surprise--whether I save as PSD or TIF. This is true both of new files (via file dialog) and of existing DNG files newly saved as TIFs in Camera Raw.
    I've now tried opening old files other than the ones I've been working on for the past month. They all default to the Epson printer--not surprising, since I always save files after printing, so that the print settings stick.
    The problem files are the ones I've worked on recently. When opened, they all default to the HP printer. So I'll have to open, change Print settings and save about 200 files. I'll write an action.
    I can't imagine how they got set to the HP in the first place. I've tried turning off the Epson and creating a new file: the Print dialog still says Epson R2400.
    Thanks for your message. It got me to focus more closely on just which files were problematic.

  • My f4180 prints in color eventhough I have it set to print in black only.

    I have been using my F4180 for a couple of years now. I have always used HP cartridges. For some reason, it will now only print in color. I installed a new black cartridge and the printer recognizes and that there is ink in the cartridge. When I remove the color cartridge it prints in black just fine, but as soon as I reinstall the color cartridge it prints only in color. I have never changed the printer preferences to anything but black only. I have run the diagnostic and it says everything is just fine, as long as I leave the color cartridge in. Any ideas on what to do?
    Another issue is that in Print Preview all I see is a blank page. It prints fine but shows absolutely nothing in print preview. That is new as well. Any ideas on that?
    Thank you.

  • How to set DEFAULT printer

    Prior to Tiger I was sure there was a SET DEFAULT option to choose the printer to display as the default. I can't find it and it seems the first alphabetically sorted printer comes up as default.
    Am I missing something?
    I want my laser printer as the default for most things, draft documents etc.

    Go to the Print& Fax Preferences in the System Prefs and look for "Selected Printer in Print Dialog" in the Printing Panel. I'm pretty sure this is what you meant.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i set up hp eprint to. print in black only

    How do i set up hp eprint to pint in black only

    Hi and welcome to the HP Support Community.
    On an Android device, in the ePrint app, you select the document or photo you want to print.  In the Preview screen, open Settings (the document icon with a gear in the top right corner of the screen).  There among other things, you can set Color Mode to Black Only, Grayscale, or Color.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Set up Print As Image Registry Default.

    This is a response to the archived post at:
    martin hrubes, "How to customize printing by registry - print as image" #, 6 Nov 2007 2:28 am
    I was trying to find out how to set the "Print As Image" advanced setting to be enabled by default. Here is what I discovered through trial and error.
    1. The setting is stored per user and per printer. (i.e. it has to be set for each printer for each user.)
    2. The registry setting is stored in the following key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\General\cPrintAsImage]
    3. In this key, each printer has a separate binary value named s0, s1, s2, etc. The number increments by 1 for each printer added. If you open the value data, you will see it contains the name of the printer encoded in hex. (ex. hex coded for \\Server\Printer1)
    My recomendation is to open a pdf file in reader, go to File -> Print ->Select Desired Printer -> Click "Advanced" Options -> Enable "Print As Image" -> Click OK - Click OK again. Repeat for each printer you want to
    change.
    **NOTE** If you don't click OK both times (i.e. cancel the print dialog), the change will not be saved. You have to actually print something to the printer. If you don't want to print something, make sure the printer is offline or not accessible (unplug the network, usb, parallel, serial cable) first. Once the printer has been changed, it will keep the setting until to you change it.
    After you have set-up all of the desired printers, open RegEdit and navigate to the above key. Right click on it, and export it. Note the file name and location you are saving to. Close RegEdit. "Edit" (Right Click) the file just exported ("Opening" the file will just import it back into the registry.). Once opened, highlight and copy the registry key and all of the registry values. Paste the key and values at the end of the file. In one of the keys change "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\" to "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\". Save and exit the file.
    When imported this file will enable the "Print As Image" setting for the currently logged in user plus add the setting to the default users profile so any new users to the machine will have it enabled by default also. However, it will not add it to any other user profiles that already exist on the computer. To do this, either use a login script for domain computers or add the reg file to the "All Users Startup" folder.
    It would be nice to have a setting in the deployment custimazation wizard to handle this, but for now we're stuck with enabling it the hard way.

    Yes Spyla, please see this link http://www.404techsupport.com/2008/09/09/make-adobe-reader-and-adobe-acrobat-use-print-as- image-setting-by-default-2/comment-page-1/#comment-3112.
    Allan, many thanks for your post, it certainly helped point me in the right direction.  what I found though is that you do not need to tick the print as image box at any point during the setting up of this.  All you need to do is add the registry key for whichever version of Adobe you are using for this to work.  So basically. what you are saying for each instance of Adobe is regardless of whether or not the print as image is selected, the registry key is saying always print as image for the printer as specified by the hex code. I have found that for network printers, you have to include the full path i.e. \\<servername>\<printername> e.g \\testserver\printer1 and convert all of that to hex. With later versions (9 up over), they have allowed for the string name of the printer so that it is just plain text which also makes life easier.
    What I do is apply this registry entry via Group Policy on a per room basis so that we only ever need to add one printer to the list.  you could do this globally by adding all printers sequentially using s0, s1, s2 or t0, t1, t2 etc depending on which version you are using.  The screenshot shows the registry key for 1 printer for Adobe Reader 8.
    The value data is the binary code for the actual full printer name
    This works a treat.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)
