How do I print in black and white?

I have a HP Photosmart C4480 (all-in-one).  I try to print a PDF in black and white, the printer prints in color regardless if I choose color print or black and white.  How can I fix this?

Hi,
What operating system/device are you printing from? If it's a windows setup, there sould be a b/w settting within the print options menu similar to the option below.

  • How can I print in black and white?

    I have asked friends how to print in black and white and they show me how to do it on their computers. They do it by just switching the colorysync profile to black and white or greyscale but when I go to print and go to the same drop down menu for colorsync profiles, there are no other profiles.

    First, as print dialog box functions vary with the Mac OS version, we need to know what version of the Mac OS you have. "iOS 5.0.1" in your profile is not a computer OS but rather for iDevices. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu to see what version you really have. It should be 10.something
    Second: control of the type of printing is int eh hands of the printer software, Please post the both the make and model of printer you are using.

  • How can I print in black and white only directly from apps on hp screen?

    My printer preference from my pc is set to print in black and white from my computer. How do I set the same black and white settings from the HP Photosmart Plus printer, when printing directly from Apps on Home screen?

    Hello AdrianaSFleury,
    At this time there is not an option or a default to set black and white only from the front panel of the printer. Some applications may give you settings in the Application itself for color or black and white but that would be the only place to change the color of the document/photo for your print jobs.

  • How can I print in black and white only from mobile device

  • HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

    I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink.  How can I do that?

    What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
    Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information.  (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

  • Hp 6100 printer. how do i print in black and white only?

    Just bought an HP6100 Printer and can't get it to print in black and white only. I clicked "Gray" in the setting but didn't seem to help. Still prints a yellow smile face.  Thanks, Larry

    Hi,
    Which application are you using ? Based on its manual (page #65):
    Most print settings are automatically handled by the software application. You need to change the settings manually only when you change print quality, print on specific types of paper or transparency film, or use special features.
    You need to set this up from the application(s) and you can set as default too.
    More info is in the following link:

  • How do I print in black and white with HP Deskjet 5740?

    I have just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. With Snow Leopard, and an HP Deskjet 5740 printer, I could choose to print in draft or best quality, black and white only or in full colour, and had various other options. Now I am not offered these options in the print dialogue: the printer always prints in colour and I cannot choose whether to print in best or draft quality. I would be grateful for any tips on how to recover printing options. Many thanks.

    I have a different HP, but see if this helps:
    You can also select Greyscale, and even only the Black Cartridge:

  • How to preset printer to black and white print only

    I have and OfficeJet J6480 printer and use a Macbook OS X v 10.5.8.  How do I preset the printer to print in black ink only?

    1. From the application used to printer, click the File menu, select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the blue triangle next to the product model to see all available settings.
    2. To select the Color Mode, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
    4. Click the triangle next to Color to expend the color options.
    There you will see an option to select Grayscale printing and Black Ink Only printing.
    You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...

    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.

    Hello!
    You can get this accomplished within most word/printing applications or preferences by selecting 'Greyscale' printing or black and white only.
