I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

Check the printer itself.  Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac.   If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one.

    How do I AirPrint in black and white from my iPad2 wifi/3G so I do not waste the color ink unnecessarily?  I never see the option to choose printing in black and white.  I have an Epson Workforce 845 printer.

    There is no option to force black and white ouput.

  • Can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

    I think you are asking whether it makes an difference whether you create the mask before or after you edit the black & white version. The answer is that since the color version and the b&w version are on different layers (as seen here), it makes no difference when you edit the b&w version.
    Also consider another technique that separates the color element in the image. Here, the area surrounding the color image is a line interpretation of the scene, similar to a Tone Line Conversion, a technique that was created with film many years ago.  (I am so old,  I still remember how it was done.) This is how to get the result similar to the one shown above but with a line illustration created in Photoshop replacing the b&w layer version:
    1. Open an image. This technique is more successful if the image you select has many clearly defined edges.
    2. Make a duplicate layer. (Cmd+J). It becomes Layer 1
    3. With Layer 1 chosen, go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur. Set the Quality to High and the Mode to Edge Only. The default settings are Radius 3.0, Threshold 25.0. To increase the amount of detail in the line conversion, raise the Radius setting. Use the white-on-black illustration within Smart Blur as a guide. Then click OK.
    4. The line illustration will appear as white lines in a black background. To change this to black-on-white, choose Image>Adjustments>Invert.
    5. Insert a new layer below Layer 1. It will serve as the background for the line illustration. To do this, hold down the Command key while clicking on the New Layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the second symbol from the right. It will become Layer 2.
    6. Fill this new layer with a light color. To do this, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a light color and click OK.
    7. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. Layer 2 will fill with the color. Although it will not appear in the image because Layer 1 is above it, a quick check of the Layers panel will confirm that the color you chose has filled Layer 2.
    8. Remove the white area from in Layer 1. Go to Layer 1. Choose the Magic Wand tool. Uncheck the Contiguous box in the Options Bar and click in a white area of the image. Next, click the Delete key.  Choose Select>Deselect to remove the marching ants. 
    9. (Optional)  You may now change the line illustration in Layer 1 from black to a dark color compatible with the color in Layer 2. To choose the color, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a suitable dark color and click OK. While in Layer 1, click the first symbol next to the word  Lock:  in the Layers panel above Layer 1. This will prevent the dark color from appearing in the blank area of Layer 1. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color.  Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. The black lines will change to the dark color you chose.
    10. Combine Layers1 and 2: While in Layer 1, choose Layer>Merge Down. The layers are combined into a single layer called Layer 2.
    11.  Add a black mask to Layer 2 by clicking on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the symbol to the right of the fx symbol. Where you would like full color objects to appear within the line rendition, paint in white on the black mask with a brush set to either soft-edge or hard-edge as the illustration and your taste dictate.  

  • Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer?

    Blac and white only from iPad to hp printer

    Hi Tigmay,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you would like to print black and white from your iPad to your Photosmart 5510 printer.
    AirPrint doesn't support many print settings, such as grayscale and black only but don't worry there is a way it can be accomplished.  If you download the HP ePrint Mobile app to your iPad one of your print settings allows you to choose between color and grayscale and if the printer supports it, black only.  I have included a screen shot from my iPad of the HP ePrint app that shows the setting.  The printer I had chosen (I don't have any of the Photosmart 5510 series printers) had the option of black only.  I've also included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document for your reference.

    Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer? 
    It seems ePrint is no longer available and now forced to use HP Connect. I am not seeing the option to print in black and white. Printing email messages in color is a waste of ink. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was using ePrint however that is auto-directing me to HPConnected and I no longer have the option to change the printing options to Black and White or Color. This is a recent change for me.

    Hi,
    Yes, you have to use HP Connected now. Do you use AirPrint or ePrint ? ePrint allows you to select Color or Grayscale under Color mode (note: Grayscale ALSO uses color inks).

  • HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas?

    my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas on how to correct this?  This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

    I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem.  It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about.  (there was a new iCloud release, hence...)  No ETA for a fix yet.  I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list.  I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve).  I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward.  They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset.  ;-)

  • Printing in Black and White From Ipad2

    I would like the option of printing my emails and amazon reciepts in black and white.  I have the HP Photosmart E-aio D110a printer.  I am trying to print in black and white from my ipad2.
    I consulted with Apple Support as well as HP support today.  HP seems to think there is a program/app in the Apps store for printing in black and white.
    Any idea's would be appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Adding color to an object in a black and white photo

    Can someone please help? I just bought Aperture and I was wondering if it is possible to add color to an object in a black and white photo? or keep an object in color and turn the rest of the picture into black and white?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I am 90% sure this cannot be specifically done in Aperture as it can in Photoshop.
    I assume you mean adding spot colour to a B&W photograph.
    You can choose an external editor such as Photoshop, if you have it, create the effect, and re-import the image back into Aperture.
    There are some powerful colour controls for selectively improving colour in a photo within Aperture. Whereby you can make a particular colour stand out more by selectively adjusting the red, blue,cyan,magenta, yellow colour's. These are accessed via the colour controls in the adjustments inspector.
    You can create B&W images with two tones (of your choice) by using the Monochrome mixer ( in the adjustments panel )
    Or you can create colour monochrome effects by using the colour monochrome effects slider ( in the adjustments panel, where you see a + sign with a downward pointing arrow ) click the arrow and select "colour monochrome" from the menu, it will appear at the bottom of the adjustments panel.
    Give some of these a go..... play around with it, you can get some stunning result's..........
    Hope this helps some.......

  • Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

    Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

    The only answer is because that's what Apple decided.  No one here knows any more than that.
    You should put a case on it anyway so buy one in the color you want.

    How do I print a colour PDF in black and white.

    Thanks for that, unfortunately a) I'm a Mac user and b) I've already ticked the grayscale box in the print dialogue box and it seems to ignore or override the instruction and still print in colour. I've been in to the advanced instructions and tried a couple of different settings there but still no luck.

  • Printing in black and white from an ipad on a deskjet 2540 without going through a router

    My wife purchased a HP Deskjet 2540 all in one so that she can print directly from her ipad. She is going directly to the printer not through our router. It works great except that everything is printed in color? And unable to adjust the size such as fit to page etc.
    How do we get it to print directly from the ipad in black and white and is there a way to set the size eg: Fit to page etc.???

    You most likely need to download the HP app for your iPad to do the correct print settings to properly print - this might be the case here. If you still download and install the HP app and it doesn't work then there might be a limit to what your iPad can do for prints.
