How do you prevent HP Deskjet IA 4615 printer from using colour to print black!!!!?​???

I just recently bought this great All-in-One HP DeskJet IA 4615 as I've needed all the other functions besides printing for a while now. Imagine my horror when trying to specifically save on using colour when printing a newsletter to about 900 clients by putting elements of colour into a predominately black design...and then wondering why all the colours are going down so fast...then discovering that the printer is USING THE COLOURS TO PRINT BLACK!!!!
I have looked all over for switching this off...but haven't been able to find the answer?
Is this standard?
In that case I'm EXTREMELY disappointed to find that HP uses this tactic to get you to use ALL the colour cartridges!!!
Please, if anyone has the answer for me...let me know!!!!
This is NOT a great way to find out you can't save ink no matter what you do! I hope one can...redeem my love for HP, PLEASE!

Hey MarleMac,
What is the Operating System of the computer you are using the Deskjet Ink Advantage 4615 with?
If you are using a Windows PC, then open the Devices and Printers folder.   Right click on the printer and select Printing Preferences.  If you want to print a black and white document using black ink only, click the Advanced button. From the Print in Grayscale drop-down menu select Black Ink Only, then click the OK button.

  • My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from alphabetizing the song list created. I wanted to keep the original order, and somehow everything was alphabetized without requesting it.

    My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from automatically alphabetizing the song list.   I had a specific order of songs that I wanted, and Itunes somehow automatically alphabetized them.  Is there a way to turn that feature off, and/or get them back to the original order?   I also noticed that once a playlist has been created, I cannot manually changed the order of the songs from my desktop..  Any suggestions?

    That's just the sort order. It's displaying the media alphabetically because you have clicked on the NAME column near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click on the little triangle above the column of numbers (usually on the far left side of the main iTunes window) and the media will sort in the order in which you added each item to the playlist.
    You can easily reorder songs within a playlist: Click and HOLD on the song you wish to move, then drag-and-drop it wherever you like.

  • How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

    I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
    This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
    The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
    I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
    - EPS (with TIFF preview)
    - Windows metafile (.wmf)
    - Enhanced metafile (.emf)
    I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
    From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
    How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

    Transparency Flattening is being invoked.
    From the Create PDF button, select Properties, what is your setting for Default Settings? Select High Quality Print

    You cannot create encrypted folders in, or encrypt folders with, Disk Utility.
    You can create with Disk Utility encrypted disk images from folders. I assume that's what you mean.
    The proper way to do it is by setting the immutable bit. Read here
    <http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/immutableflags.html>
    about the immutable bits (and the trouble they sometimes create).
    The user immutable bit (uchg) is the same as the Finder lock, as described above by X423424X. It's a weak lock, with only a warning.
    The system immutable bit (schg) is more powerful. Once is set, the item cannot be deleted in Finder (even though Finder will ask for your password and may give you the impression that it can trash it; it will end with an error).
    I set it in Terminal, thus
    $ sudo chflags schg my_encrypted_disk_image
    and unset it also in Terminal
    $ sudo chflags noschg my_encrypted_disk_image
    (Note that, when you unset the system immutable bit, the change won't be reflected immediately in Finder, but the item can be trashed nevertheless.)

    How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?

    Thanks tjk.
    Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.

    Hi,
    iChat version through from version 2 to version 6 allowed you to choose whether to Save Transcripts of iChats.
    It was a setting in the App Menu > Preferences > Messages pane.
    In Messages beta this now longer happens and "Saving" is obligatory.
    By default the Chats are stored in a folder called iChats and this is normally in the Documents folder.  (they are still called iChats in Messages).
    In addition Messages Beta also stores some iMessage info in the Home Folder/Library/Messages
    You can access this via the Finder > Go Menu and holding the ALT ley to see the Library listing (It is normally invisible)
    The info is held in the chat-db database.
    At present you cannot turn Off saving the transcripts.

    iTunes on tmy new computer shows none of my data and I fear if I sync my iPod with the computer all will be deleted on the iPod.

  • How do I prevent all dialog processes in SM50 from being occupied?

    Hi experts,
      I have set rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 4 and I still saw all dialog processes got occupied.
    (PS: This screenshot is captured after a few minutes). Anyway, how do I prevent all dialog processes in SM50 from being occupied?
    Should I increase rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp ( = 4 now ) and rdisp/wp_no_dia ( = 18 now ) to a higher value?

    Hi Gaurav & Nick,
       If I understand correctly, there are 4 dialog processes running and 14 RFC running at the same time.
    If I want to resolve this problem, I need to reduce paralellism of RFCs and increase dialog work processes, right? Here is my new configuration. Any thoughts?
    new parameters:
    rdisp/wp_no_dia = 20
    rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 10
    rdisp/rfc_check = 3
    old parameters in profile:
    rdisp/wp_no_dia = 18
    rdisp/wp_no_btc = 13
    rdisp/wp_no_enq = 0
    rdisp/wp_no_spo = 2
    rdisp/wp_no_vb = 5
    rdisp/wp_no_vb2 = 2
    rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp = 4
    rdisp/rfc_check = DEFAULT  (DEFAULT is 2, ASYNC and SYNC RFC)
