Can't Print B&W Only With Samsung CLP-300N

I recently purchased an iMac to replace my XP CD. I've been a Windows XP user for a while, and had a Samsung CLP-300N attached to my network. I was able to fine-tune the printer driver settings (quality, number of copies, bw/color, etc) in Windows XP. However, i recently attached the Samsung to my Mac (Leopard 10.5.4) and the printer gets added just fine, and I'm able to print.
However, I'd like to be able to **just print B&W** to cut down on cost. I did this in Windows by defining one printer (and adjusting the settings) for Color and one for B&W. But I can't set the B&W only on the Mac.
I went to samsung's website and downloaded the driver - this doesn't give me a utility. When I click the Utility icon in the print queue, it takes me to the configuration webpage of the printer itself (http://192.168.1.5).
I also installed their SPanel took which is nothing more than the configuration webpage right on your desktop; the configuration webpage gives you no options for printing B&W only.
I tried adding the printer a second time with just a Generic Driver (hoping it would only print in B&W). No luck... the green light just flashes on the printer.
I was wondering if a) anyone had similar issues with this printer or b) anyone knows of a suitable generic driver I can use to just print B&W.
Thanks.

Yes. I have similar issues. My "solution" is Bootcamp. Sounds silly, maybe, but like you I want B&W only most of the time.
Really only takes a couple of minutes to reboot from OS X to OS XP. I assume you still have your Windows software, so you can operate as usual. I am resigned to the fact that some of the software I use has no real Mac equivalent, or I cannot afford to repurchase.
If you come up with a B&W driver for the CLP-300, could you please post. It would probably help a few people in the same boat. Best of luck.

  • Can i print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do i have to have an airprinter?

    Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

    It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
    I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device.  I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet.  THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.

  • PO can be printed without release ONLY from one User id.

    Hi All,
    We are facing a problem, that PO can be printed before release. Configuration is correct.This is happening only for one user id. No other user is able to do so. Is it related with the roles and authorizations or the user parameters in SU01D? Which authorization objects to chekc in this case?
    Kindly throw some light on it....
    Thanks,
    Nandan.

    Hi
    PO cannot be printed unless it is released. Can you check whether it is at time of change print or re-print (after modifying PO - without releasing user is trying to print the PO)? Or else is it from print preview tab in PO (there is a option to print from print preview directly)? I dont think it is because of user adminstraion/ roles. Please check
    Thanks

  • Can't print on Windows 8 with Color Laserjet 1600

    I installed DOT4x64.msi on my new HP Windows 8 laptop, since that seems to be the only current way to hook up my Color Laserjet 1600. The printer now shows in the "Devices & Printers" section of the control panel.  But when I try to print something, I get an error message that says I can't print to that printer. I have spent nearly an hour on the phone with HP support with no resolution - in fact, after all this time, was told "this department doesn't support this printer!!!. Any ideas on a solution here? Thanks! 
    PS - I originally posted on a different board, but am hoping someone here can help.
    This question was solved.

  • Can I Print Through Airport Express With A Lexmark x5150?

    Am I able to print through A.E. with my Lexmark X5150 All-in-one? I'm having issues. It's recognized by my laptop, but won't print through A.E. It does, however, print when the USB is plugged into my lBook directly. I think I have the latest drivers installed. Can anyone offer up any suggestions/help? Thanks in advance......

    The Lexmark X5150 is not on the list of supported printers found at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html . Based on your findings, I suspect this printer just won't work with anything but a direct connection to your Mac's USB port.
    Not many all-in-one printers are supported for connection via an Airport Express. For those few models that do work, only printing is possible - other functions like scanning won't work. For some all-in-ones, an alternative driver can be found that will at least support printing - but I cannot find any alternative driver that will work with the x5150.

  • 10.5.2 - cannot print with Samsung CLP-510 connected via Airport

    After 10.5.2 Leopard upgrade, the printer Samsung CLP-510 prints only if it's connected directly to my MacBook (or my PowerBook), not if it's connected via Airport (Extreme): the printers become soon busy and give the message "Device busy, please retry...", and after some time the printer print an error page with "timeout" error.
    No luck resetting the Airport.
    Any workaround, please?
    Thanks in advance
    Salvo

    These steps may help:
    1. Open System Preferences and click on the "Print & Fax" icon
    2. Click on the "+" button to add a printer
    3. Click on the "IP" button in the toolbar
    4. Choose "HP Jetdirect - Socket" from the "Protocol" option menu
    5. Enter the hostname or IP of the Airport base station in the "Address" field - typically 10.0.0.1 or your base station name with ".local" on the end
    6. Leave the "Queue" field blank
    7. Replace the auto-generated name with something meaningful to you in the "Name" field
    8. Choose "Select a driver to use" from the "Print Using" option menu, and then type in the model number for your printer to locate the corresponding printer driver
    9. Click "Add" to add the printer, then try printing
    If you report back with your results, it would be appreciated.

  • Help Please I can't print IE or Safari with 10.4.4

    Can anybody HELP ME PLEASE. I have upgraded to 10.4.4 and now I can't print from Internet Explorer or Safari. I don't have any problems with Mail or any other programs. I just can't print any web pages and I need to do that often.
    I have tried all the trouble shooting from the Apple site and nothing works. Everything seems good. I am using a HP all-in-one 2200 series printer. I have updated the driver for it to 3.0.1.
    Please don't get really technical with answers, cause I'm a mechanic not a programer:)

    Please do a search on the forum for "safari blank pages" or something similar. I believe that a workaround to this problem appeared a little while ago. Hope this helps.

  • Major Printing Problem - Can't Print in any App, with Any Printers

    I help my Aunt with her three Macs (2 eMacs, 1 MacBook, all running 10.4.8 right now) at her office, and she had me come to help recently because one of the eMacs stopped printing anything; here's what happens:
    In every app besides Word (e.g. Safari, TextEdit, AppleWorks, etc.): If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' the cursor turns into the spinning rainbow for a few seconds, and nothing happens (meaning I can do anything I want in the application, as if nothing at all happened).
    In Word: If I click File>Print... or press 'Command-P,' Word sits for a minute with the spinning rainbow, then locks up and quits itself. BUT, if I click the little 'print' button in the toolbar (the one that bypasses the print dialog box), the file will print.
    I tried resetting the printing system, setting up different printers on the computer, printing over the network and over USB (directly connected to port 1 on the eMac), and re-downloading/installing the printer drivers for the Brother 5250DN laser printer AND the HP LaserJet 1200 laser printer, but all to no avail.
    I can run the Printer Setup Utility and recognize the printers (via Bonjour over the network and via USB), and the computer can run the printer setup utilities, so I know the printer communicates fine with the computer. I also can print to the printers (both the networked one and the Brother) from any of the other Macs (including my own laptop) over the network. But I can't get the print dialog box to show up for any printer on the one eMac.
    I'm determined that this problem lies within the OSX printing system, but reinstalling the whole OS is not an option, as I would have to re-setup all the software, user accounts, special network settings, etc. (even if I do an Archive and Install). Is there anything I can do??? (I seem to recall someone else having this problem, but I can't find that thread on the forum).

    There's another thread describing this same problem. I am having the issue too. As I posted in the other thread:
    "Well, I did a full Archive and Install, with restore user settings, and the thing still won't print! All apps crash when trying to print (except Mail.app, which is odd). So it appears all of the files required for printing are there since Mail.app works, but I still can't print from Safari, Firefox, Preview, TextEdit, etc etc. ARGH!!!!
    Next step is to downgrade to 10.4.8."
    If that doesn't work, I guess an Erase and Install would be th next step.

    Hi Ajlan,
    To fix my problem, i uninstalled adobe reader X with "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool", rebooted the server, installed Adobe Reader XI and rebooted again.
    For some users, this fix the problem but with some others i had to define Adobe Reader by default again.
    I tried without use "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool" before and adobe reader X wasn't really uninstall.
    Thanks,

    I have exactly the same problem since I changed my Mac for an Intel one (10.6.2 instead of Power PC 10.4).
    My printer is a Canon MP610 but this has nothing to do with the printer and it's software. Adobe seems to be completely deaf to this issue which is very annoying as most of the downloaded documents you need to print are pdf nowadays.
    I surrounded the issue by copying/pasting the pdf image in a jpeg file... This is very time consuming and I'm still waiting for a proper answer to this bug by Adobe.
    Let's continue to write, hoping Adobe will begin to move on the subject...

  • Printing in black only with depleted COLOR cartrages doesn't work.

    I just downloaded a missing W2 and NEED to print it like yesterday. My yellow and megenta cartrages are empty. But the document is black and white but NONE of the ways of printing in black only work because HP uses my VERY expencive ink to do things OTHER then printing? Really??? Is that for real? Does HP really charge an arm and a leg for ink and then use it for purposes OTHER then putting said ink on paper?

    I have the exact same issue. The instructions state specifically that it will print with a depleted cartridge in grayscale but nothing works. I had to order one online. What is infuriating is that I rarely print in color. If I knew this would be an issue I never would have bought this printer.
