I have an epson printer epson stylus office BX625 FWD that will only print in black and white on my PC it prints full colour

What does airprint have to do with printing in bw vs in color? The user hasn't even stated which printing method they use.
I watched your video the other week after seeing you post it in a thread where you also suggested to it to be the solution. The video could not have been more off topic and was the biggest waste of anybody's time. So it is completely suspect when you keep injecting your youtube video in several threads.
There's a few things that changed when it comes to printing and scanning in Yosemite.
The first order of business is that users should get the latest driver for their device/printer/scanner. That will get them up and running before they even finished taking notes while watching videos.

My hp deskjet 9362c will not print in black and white/error message says the printer mode is set at

can not get my hp deskjet 932c to print in black and white. error message states print mode in auto, but I can't find the print mode to correct. printer was printing in black and white or color automatically til last night, then in middle of document quit altogether. new cartridges get the same results.

Check the paper type settings. If this is set to "automatic" and the paper type is detected as photo paper then black only print is not available. (The black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.) What is your operating system?

I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

Setting Black and White as the default when printing to a Canon Image Class 4080i

Hi,
I've got two Canon Image Class 4080i's that we are printing to at the school I work at. I have installed the Canon UFRII V2.40 Printer Driver for Mac OS X and we are able to print to them fine through any macbook running 10.5 to 10.7. My question is, how do I make the default printer setting be Black and White instead of color? I know how to change it from Color to Black and White by navigating to the Quality menu through the Print screen but I have to do this every time I print. Is there a way to make black and white the default?
Thanks in advance,
Cheryll

You’re really going to take photos straight out of camera on a 5d3 and print them with a blindly applied B&W conversion from the printer? I would highly discourage that, but if that’s what you want to do I’m sure it’s possible. Sorry, I have no experience with that printer so I can’t help.
Do you have a laptop? My recommendation would be to use a photo processing software like Lightroom (if you don’t have it LR5 is ridiculously cheap right now), play around before the event to get a B&W conversion that you like – even the preset ones are going to be better than whatever conversion the printer does - and then print from LR. It’d hardly take any extra time, and you could get a brief review of the conversions on a laptop screen before printing.

OSX Print in Black and White on an HP Color printer?

I have an HP8500 Color printer connected to OSX 10.8.3 through a JetDirect port. The OSX Driver for the HP8500 does not have the option to print in color or B&W that the windows driver has. As a consequence, even when printing in B&W from a PPT deck, the driver prints using all four color toners to produce a black and white output that looks like it has a hint of purple in it. Is there a different driver I could use that has the option to select black or color output? As it is I'm buring through very expensive color toner for balck and white docs.

The Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter has the same print mechanism as its All-in-One counterpart the Officejet Pro 8600. This printer has a printhead mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).
One will have to replace the cartridge, if the unit provides a message of one of the colors being empty, before the unit will resume printing. It is a maintenance mechanism to prevent the product from self-damage. Hope this helps.

Convert photo to black and white excpet for reds

I have a photo and I would like to convert it to black and white except for the reds in the image. Is there a way of selecting a color range to be preserved and to convert the rest to black and white?
thanks

The problem is that the reds arnt just in one area.
Is there no way to select a color range?
I guess I could use the magic wand tool and set it off continuous while varying the tolerance, but this seems a but crude.

How to have "black and white only" be the default print option

Just installed a new printer and would like to set it up so that the default print option is black and white only. How do I do this?

Can't find this anywhere. I'm brand new to Macs so I
might need more detailed instructions.
I have an HP Photosmart C6100 by the way.
Not sure which post you are responding to since you replied to yourself
Every printer is a little different so you may have to do some searching through the settings. I don't have an HP Photosmart C6100 here so I can't say for sure where the setting is for that printer.
The closest thing I have to that model printer here is an HP OfficeJet 6310
In that model you choose Paper Type/Quality
In drop down menu under Color you select Gray Scale
Then you can still save the preset as I described in my previous post.
If the C6100 is different than that you may just have to search through option pages and explore the drop down selections.
Which I could be more specific, but they are all a little different.

Black and white is full but wont print

I replaced the black ink, but its reading it as only 1/3 full.. The colour ink's are empty, but I just need to print in Black and white and the Officejet Pro 8600 will not let me print unless I replace the colour. This cannot be true is it?? must be a way to print in black and white and not replace the colour. Also, the ink reader is not reading the right levels of ink left. any help there??

Hi,
As a color All-In-One device, any color is required for the device to operate.
You will not be able to print without color ink, it is required to maintain the printing mechanism as explained below:

Black and white photos turning red

I've scanned some black and white negatives and have the jpegs in my iPhoto libray. After I've edited my photos and view them, they turn red. In the thumbnail they are OK, but when I view them in a full size picture they are red. How can I get them to display in the normal B&W?

Make sure they have an RGB colour profile. iPhoto supports RGB - it's what camera's shoot in.

How can i make my officejet 6500a print in black and white only?

I just bought an officejet 6500a and I can't figure out how to make it print in black in white only. I print a lot of stuff that doesn't need color and want to save my ink. On some prints it gives me that option when I print. but for the most part it doesn't allow me to change to black and white on things i am printing off the web

Pages 30-34 of the user manual for the Officejet 6500A covers how to change print preferences for the printer with both Mac and Windows. It covers documents, brochures and photos and covers finding the gray scale option. Here is a link to that manual http://goo.gl/6J61R .
I hope that this helps.

Won't print webpages in black and white

Printing works fine when I am printing documents and other files, but when I want to print a webpage, printing is only done in color. Even though I check 'Print black and white' on my computer's print preview page, and the print preview is in black and white, the printer still prints webpages in color. What do I need to do to ensure that the commands I type on my computer reaches the printer? How do I make sure the printer is following the instructions I give it? I am able to change it to black and white when I go into control panel > devices and printers > preferences > color > grayscale. But when I have this checked it will only print in black and white and never color. I am not able to figure out how to change it so that it prints black and white OR color depending on my command in the print preview page. This is becoming very costly because of the uneccessary color ink that is being used so your help is appreciated.

Hi there,

Pages 09 poster only prints as black and white but color looks fine on the screen

The original template my poster was based upon prints in color, I can print other documents from pages in color without issue, and even if I print to pdf (which looks fine on the screen) and then open the pdf in preview and then print, it still prints black and white.
Um, and yes, it's a color printer and it's a standard 8.5x11 paper, so there's nothing too weird there. It looks totally fine literally everywhere except paper, and I have no other issues with any other documents, even really similar ones, that I have sent through the same printer.
I sent the same pdf file to a local copy shop and it printed just fine.
ACK! Please help!

I can't find anything that is print to black & white or grey scale in the document rules or anywhere else, and since the printer prints it as a pages document AND a pdf as black and white--but someone else can print the same PDF file in living color on their printer without any issues, I'm stumped.
Without changing anything, I can print any other document, jpg, web page, or anything on the same printer (including the same apple template) and the colors are fine...but then this one prints in b&w.
