how do I change print preferences to print in black/white by default instead of color

When you try to print, use COMMAND P, it should bring up a window similar to this you can select the preset there. It shoud remember the preset after.

  • How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in the original?

    How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in its original. I don't need the print out to be in color, and I don't want to waste the color ink.

    It depends on your printer and the application you are using.
    In some applications you can choose color vs. greyscale/black&white when you do File > Print.   PowerPoint is one example of an application that allows this choice.
    Otherwise, you can usually select greyscale at the time you print the document.  Do File > Print. In the resulting dialog box, there should be an item called Copies & Pages (in Word and other applications) or Preview (in Preview).  Click it.  In the resulting list, you should then see an option called Printer Features.  Click it.  Then you should see an option called Printout Mode.  Usually one of the modes is Greyscale or Black & White.  Select it.  Then Print.
    This can also depend on your printer.  Exactly what make/model printer are you using?   And what kind of document are you trying to print (Word, PPT, JPEG, etc)?

  • When I i open a picture from my Documents it automatically opens in Photoshop.  I want it to open in Lightroom. How do I change this preference?

    When I i open a picture from my Documents it automatically opens in Photoshop.  I want it to open in Lightroom. How do I change this preference?

    You cannot open an image with LR as you would with Photoshop , or Elements. (or a word document, etc)
    The Lightroom program can only open "Catalog" files  (*.LRCAT)   Opening a .LRCAT file will automatically open Lightroom.
    To edit images in LR you must first open the program, then IMPORT the image into the Catalog database (only ever once), then you select the preview thumbnail and go to the Develop module ( press "D")
    Your edits in the Develop module will show on the preview in the library grid.
    Your original image file is not altered, so will not look any different in File Explorer or Finder.
    To get an image file with your Develop edits applied, you must "Export" a derivative file in JPG or TIFF format.

  • How do I change my preferences to save downloads to my desktop, instead of a User's download folder?

    How do I change my preferences to save downloads to my desktop, instead of an internal User's download folder? I have an older Mac Mini & recently upgraded the operating system to 10.5.8.

    I presuming you're using the default Internet Browser, Safari.
    Choose Safari → Preferences
         Alternatively, press Command+, (comma).
    Click the General tab; then click the Save Downloaded Files To pop-up menu and choose Other.
    Navigate to and select the location where you want the files stored and click Select.
    Click the Close button to exit Preferences.

  • How can I change the preference order of stored wi-fi networks?

    How can I change the preference order of stored wi-fi networks? (My iPhone keeps trying to connect to a weaker network that I occasionally use - even when there's a stronger network stored in the system which I want to rank higher)

    If you know and have entered and connected successfully to the weaker network whenever you come near it it will automatically connect to it.
    If you want it to connect it to the stronger network you should go to the wireless settings and connect to the stronger one when both the networksare in range.this will make your stronger network as the default network connection.

  • 5530e - unable to print in black & white

    There seems to be no option to print in black & white. I don't need color all the time.

    Hi Anniebella,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer and the need to print only in black. Here is a link to change print settings for black ink only. You will notice the section change the default print settings for all print jobs. If you follow this document it will show you how on Windows 7 or Windows 8.
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks.

  • How do I change my incoming calls to view caller's phone number instead of name?  This is for numbers not stored in my contacts (i.e. Unknown)

    How do I change my incoming call view to see the "phone number" instead of seeing "Unknown" for contacts who are not stored in my phone?  Whenever a call comes in it says unknow instead on the phone number that is calling.

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • Printing a black & white photo

    Hi all,
    I'm not sure whether this is the right category but here goes.
    I have scanned an old photo using my HP Photosmart C4580, into Photoshop and changed the now, sepia colours to black & white which is fine.
    The problem arises when I then try to print it on the same printer, as it doesn't come out black and white, it is printing with a distinct blue tinge so obviously it is not using the black cartridge but is trying to cobble something using the colour cartridge.
    Is there a means of forcing it to print in black & white, i.e. ONLY use the black cartridge.
    Before you ask, I am on WIndows XP SP3 (which I don't think should make any difference) and I haven't tried removing the colour cartridge as I have a feeling that it might complain that it is missing a cartridge and then possibly get stuffed up when I put the colour cartridge back in.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Regards

    OK, there are a few issues here.  First, the cartridges are regionalized and there are four different regions and cartridges and printers are not compatible across the different regions.  If you bought the printer in the UK and moved to New Zealand then you will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work.  HP's web page on the subject is here.
    As for the color vs.. black vs.. photo cartridges, your printer can use several different combinations.  The cartridges are as follows:
    Black:  Contains pigmented black ink.  This is excellent for plain paper text but is not compatible with glossy photo papers.  The drop size is ~3x larger than the color or photo drops since this cartridge is optimized for text.  When photo paper is selected this cartridge will not be used.
    Color:  Contains cyan, magenta and yellow dye based ink. The dye based ink is compatible with plain paper or photo paper.
    Photo:  Contains light cyan, light magenta and black dye based inks.  Used in conjunction with a Color cartridge the combination can give more detailed B&W prints and less "grainy" light areas such as color sky and face tones.
    For your case a working color cartridge would likely print fine B&W photo's, but if you did a side by side comparison with a print made with the color and photo cartridges installed you may see an improvement.

    HP f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule
    anyone have this problem before?

    I have just purchased the latest Time Capsule and have exactly the same problem with my HP F2280 when printing from my iMac. Very odd. So started surfing the web and it appears we are not alone and there is no easy fix. Anyway it appears the scanner will not work via the TC either, never crossed my mind when I purchased it that I would have such problems. Two thumbs down for TC

  • 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:
