Printing black & white

Hi,
I have only had a mac for a few months now and there is one thing I still can't figure out...
How can I set my printer to only print black & white, either for the job at hand or as a default.
I have the 2.16 Core Duo 15" MBP with the Canon PIXMA iP5200.
I have wasted all my color ink on various items for school which only need to be in black and white.

Hi Adam
In the Print Dialogue box
ColorSync
Quartz Filter, choose black and White.
If you do this a lot you can set up a Preset, say called B&W, save it to the chosen setting, and then next time just select it.

Printing Black&White and Color combined in Binder

Problems with Acrobat 8 Professional for Windows. Use Windows 2003, Canon iRC 3220N printer.
I have produced a brochure of 44 A4 pages. 8 pages in color, rest in black&white. The pages are individually produced in Illustrator (Creative Suite 3). Some illustrations in PNG-format where imported into Illustrator. Each of the pages were converted to Acrobat PDF's. For all Acrobat pages with an former PNG-illustration i did the Advanced-PrintProduction-ConvertColors and converted to Grayscale. When printing these pages individually they come out correct as black&white or color when that is the setting.
But when all the 44 PDF's are combined into a binder some of the black&white pages are forced back to color. Most of these forced-back pages contain an former PNG-illustration The brochure ia printed on A3 sheets as a booklet and saddle stitched.
Any help to solve the problem?

CP1515N needs Yellow toner - any way to print black & white documents in the meantime?

Our networked CP1515n has been displaying some foreign language set and unused for a while. When I did a full reset today, the menu now displays in English but the yellow toner is empty and we have no backup for now. Is there any way to resume printing just black & white documents until we obtain a replacement toner? I can't seem to get it "online".
This question was solved.

Ok, let's see if we can walk through and do an override, please follow the steps below.
Press the "OK" button on the front panel.
Use the "< or >" arrows to highlight - "Print Quality" Press "OK"..
Use the "< or >" arrows to highlight - "Replace Supplies" Press "OK"..
Use the "< or >" arrows to highlight - "Override out", Press "OK".
Now this should allow you to continue to print. Please post your results.

Printing black & white slides without backgrounds to PDF?

I would like to take my Keynote presentations and export them in PDF with the text converted to black (from grey) and the backgrounds removed. I currently have a dark background graphic that I made extremely opaque so it's light and fades behind the text. I just want simple high-contrast output suitable for printing.
I couldn't find options in either exporting to PDF or print to PDF which would allow me to do this? When I chose the option to not include backgrounds, instead of getting just a blank background I got the original dark background graphic that in my presentation is opaque.
Is there a quick way to simply get Keynote slides into black and white with no background graphics?
Thanks!

I just realized my terms were off... the "background" is just a gradient fill, which I can get rid of with the Keynote print option to not print backgrounds. The "background" that I'm having trouble with is the graphic I put in my slides and made opaque which I then put text on top of.
If there was a simple way to simply print my slides to grayscale with text converted to black that would be perfect.

Printing black &white when color cartridges are out of ink

When color ink cartridges low but black new and full, why can't I print in black and white? All my cartridges were low or out of ink. I had a new black cartridge so replaced the empty one with it, thinking I could then print things in black and white, just not color. It's printing practically blank pages with some faint color on them, not even a smidge of black anywhere.

I have the EXACT same issue, just have a different printer Photosmart C4580...I'd like to know the answer as to why with new black and white cartridge it keeps defauting back to color, even if I select under preference to print B&W...really frustrating.....!!!

Printing Black & White Prints

I will tell my problem first and then some background.
When I attempt to print mono prints on my Epson R1800 using the "black" output opion on the print dialog I cannot get a true mono image and the full tonal range replicated. Often I have too much at the black end of the scale which gives my photos a "dark" appearance. If I use the "color" option I can achieve the tonal range but a true mono image doesn't result as a greenish cast is often introduced as the black is arrived at using the colour inks.
I have used the following combinations in both LR and PS; Epson provided ICC profiles, bespoke calibrated ICC profiles (which have the best results for my colour images) & printer controls (adjusting brightness/contrast/gamma).
I have tried so many combinations that I have almost lost track with some interesting results, none that are close to what I have on screen though. The most obvious route is to use my bespoke ICC and simply switch to black on the printer driver but this has the worst result of all!
Any help would be greatly appreciated before I have to take shares in Epson ink! LOL

Thanks Paul. I greatly appreciate the pointers and will go looking.
I appreciate that my questions is to an extent a "workflow" issue however my weapons of choice are LR and PS and I believe that it is the (correct) use of these that will solve my problems so see my question as being valid here.
I have chosen my tools because they have a wide user base and hope that someone here may have already got to grips with these issues and found a way to correct the issue. My question still remains for anyone here that can help; how do I control the tonal range if printing using "black" in the printer setting or the colour casts if using "color"?
Thanks again.

HT4356 I'm having trouble just printing black & white from my Iphone

I set up my printer to only print in black but for some reason when I print anything from my IPhone 4S it still tries to print in color...even though I don't want it to. Any suggestions???

interesting, check your settings first and make sure cables are connected properly (I know it sound obvious!) then try an app like hp eprint or print n share

Laserjet 500 color consuming color toner printing black and white text

How can I prevent the consumption of color toner when printing black/white text documents (pdf in Adobe Acrobat)???
I just finished printing about 2200 2-sided pages in Adobe Acrobat pdf files, all black/white text, on my 500dn. The color toner appears to have been consumed as I am getting signals that my yellow and magenta are below 10%. They were over 40% when I started the project.

HP LaserJet CP1518 only printing black and white!

Here is a weird issue. Today, my HP color LaserJet will only print Pages documents in B&W! The document in question printed in color yesterday. I tried a new document, and that one printed B&W! I 'printed' to a PDF and in Preview it was color, but printed black & White!! I opened a Photoshop Document and that printed in color, so it seems to be with Pages. Again, the document printed fine yesterday.
I do have kids, and we thought they may have changed something, but if so, I can't seem to get it back!
Help...please........

Check that you have the HP selected in +Print > Printer.+
Next pull down the button/menu marked Layout to +Color Matching+. Then check that you do not have +Profile > Other Profiles… > Black & White+ selected.
Usually +Adobe RGB+ or Automatic is the one you want.

Black&White printing of a PDF file

Please suggest how to modify printer settings so that a pdf file prints only black&white even though the printer attached could be a colour printer.

Printer regonizes Black/white page as color page

When we print a Word document to a PDF file with the Acrobat printer, pages that contain only Black/White information but with an image that looks as if it is Black/White, the printer recognizes the page as a color page. When we print this page with Word directly to the printer, the page is recognized as a Black/White page.
Are there color setting available which control the setting for gray scale images to be printed Black/White?

Leo,
choose for default settings a joboption set which
contains for output
Settingsfile: None
Color Management: Leave Color Unchanged (!)
Results:
Source sRGB (color): PDF color 3x8 bits
OK
Source Grayscale: PDF gray 1x8 bits (Indexed)
OK
Source sRGB (gray) with R=G=B: PDF gray 1x8bits (Indexed)
Very wrong.
This is a well known bug in the Acrobat software:

Why does black/white print with magenta hue?

When I print black/white greyscale in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, some documents print with ghost text that appears in a light magenta. This ghost text is staggered to the bottom right of the black text.
I'm printing from Mac OS X 10.8.4, Adobe Reader 11.0.03 using an HP LaserJet 1525nw.
The left side of the image is a screen capture from the PDF and printed. The right side printed directly from the PDF.
Any ideas why this happens?

Sorry - I was able to find out how to do color calibrate. It is supposed to print a page but never did. I tried it twice. Not sure if it actually did anything. But results are the same with printing.
The printer is very low on the three color cartridges, which I don't use. It is at normal capacity on black. Even though I'm selecting to print only black/white in Reader, could the low status on the color cartridges be causes this pink hue?
I did try a pure PDF document (one that isn't a scanned print page). It printed without issue. As I mentioned above, there is something about a scanned in printed page, which causes this pink hue issue.

Black/white printer as default on colorprinter

How can set my printer - Samsung C 460 to print black/white as default - and only print in color, when I want i to do that?
Samsungs says they don't know how. The tell me to ask Apple.
The printer is WiFi. My Mac runs with Lion.

When you print something, you get the initial print page. You will see several double arror to the right of the top two buttons. Click on the double arrows look and see if there is anything about black & white printing. Look through each of the options.
The options are jointly done by Apple and samsong. Printer manufactures implement these functions. Samsung should know what is done.
