How do I print in black & white from my iPad?

I am using an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1 and an HP Workforce 545 printer with airprint. I can print successfully but am not able to choose black and white printing. Everything prints in color. When I choose Print the print dialogue box only gives option of number of copies, no other options. Any suggestions? Thatnks

Hi Judsi2011,
Thank you for the update.
The iPad and the ePrint app are not like a computer, when you want to print from the app, it is recommended that you check the settings before printing to ensure that the print options reflect your wishes. The option for the black and white is available for the browser within the ePrint app and for emails that you are printing from within the app.
I hope this helps.

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)?

How can I print grocery store receipts from an iPad?

I run a natural food grocery store and am considering using iPads as our checkout device. (We currently use iMacs, which are nearly 5 years old now.) I think I could set up a nice system using FileMaker Go. I have done quite a bit of searching, and I don't see a clear answer as to how and whether I could print receipts on an industrial-quality receipt printer, wireless or otherwise, from the iPad. I'm not interested in anything that has a slow response time or requires printing through a separate computer (otherwise, I'll stick with using iMacs!). The receipts must be printed quickly and on the spot.
Apple's Camera Connection Kit appears to be a straightforward way to get a USB port onto the iPad, and I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) I could get multiple USB ports by attaching a self-powered hub to that port. So that should take care of the input devices, namely the barcode scanners and credit card swipes.
But it sounds like printing requires an additional application or a driver. I don't even have an iPad to test yet. Can anyone clue me in?

You cannot connect a USB hub to an iPad and you cannot connect just any USB device to an iPad via the Camera Connection Kit. The only supported printing from an iPad is using AirPrint which is supported by only a few printers, which won't meet your printing requirements.
I suggest sticking with iMacs, although I don't know why you don't use a standard cash register system.

How can I print out my contacts from my ipad

HHow can I print out my contacts from my iPad or iPhone?

Hi Ken, there is an app, Contact Sheet (http://itunes.com/apps/appiota/contactsheet) that will not only print your contacts, it can also print the pictures! This app can be used to back up, share, or extract information from your contacts. You can select which contacts to use by creating a group and you can choose which fields to include. So, for example, if you were creating a phone list to distribute to your bowling group, you could just include names and phone numbers and not include address or other information that people may not want shared. It can even be used to send group emails and group text messages. Please check it out!

How do I print in Black & White?

I have a HP Officejet 6200 connected to my macbook pro running OS X. Is there any setting so I can manually override and print only in black & white. It seems to be printing only in color and I cannot seem to find a B&W manual override. This option is available when I connect the HP to a Windows XP machine, but not on the Mac. Any thoughts! I'm tired of replacing my color cartridge.
Thanks!
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome to the forums!
In the Print dialog box, there is a drop-down menu that says Copies & Pages. Click that, and look for something relevant to your particular printer driver. For my HP color laser printer, it's Color Options > Print color as gray, for my Epson all-in-one it's Print Options > Color.
Hope this helps...

How do I print only selected pages from my ipad?

Whenever I print my emails and search on the web, the only option I see is "PRINT" , to start printing.
I don't seem to see any option what pages that I want to print.
I'm waisting lots of paper and ink.
Thanks for the help...

Yiann is right. The AirPrint driver is not smart enough to do half a print job. Nif you only want a single page, copy and paste it to a document and print that.
I bet in a year we will have more control, but it is not there now.

Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer?

Blac and white only from iPad to hp printer

Hi Tigmay,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you would like to print black and white from your iPad to your Photosmart 5510 printer.
AirPrint doesn't support many print settings, such as grayscale and black only but don't worry there is a way it can be accomplished. If you download the HP ePrint Mobile app to your iPad one of your print settings allows you to choose between color and grayscale and if the printer supports it, black only. I have included a screen shot from my iPad of the HP ePrint app that shows the setting. The printer I had chosen (I don't have any of the Photosmart 5510 series printers) had the option of black only. I've also included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document for your reference.

Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer?
It seems ePrint is no longer available and now forced to use HP Connect. I am not seeing the option to print in black and white. Printing email messages in color is a waste of ink. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I was using ePrint however that is auto-directing me to HPConnected and I no longer have the option to change the printing options to Black and White or Color. This is a recent change for me.

Hi,
Yes, you have to use HP Connected now. Do you use AirPrint or ePrint ? ePrint allows you to select Color or Grayscale under Color mode (note: Grayscale ALSO uses color inks).

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.

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

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
