How to get Air Print jobs to be in black and white only?

I am using an HP 6700 premium to print from my Ipad. I don't want to waste color ink. I don't see any way to force B/W in either the Ipad or the control panel of the 6700. Has someone solved this?

Printing from your iPad doesn't allow you an option to select black only.

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 to print in black and white only?

Hello,
I have HP Color Laserjet cp1515n. I downloaded and installed "HP_CP1510_series_full_solution_EMEA3-v4.0" from HP's website for the driver.
When printing (in the properties for the printer) there is no option whether to print in black and white only or not. Please help me get that option. And please tell me how I can save toner.
Thank You
I have windows xp

Hello!
You can get this accomplished within most word/printing applications or preferences by selecting 'Greyscale' printing or black and white only.
You can find an article related to this function with more details here:

How do I set my printer to black and white ONLY?

I have an HP Photosmart All-In-One C4480. I don't want to have to buy color cartridges, because I only need black and white, and I have three black and white cartridges already. How do I set the printer to print my documents in black and white only?
Thanks,

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
2. To access the color options, 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 Options to expend the settings.
5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
Any used preset will remain default so simply select teh standard preset to print in color.

C6150 - how to make it a black and white only printer

I have the C6150 all-in-one printer - it keeps running out of color cartridges even though I rarely use color printing. I want it to ignore the status of color cartridges even if they are empty. I set my printing option to say "black cartridge only" but it still doesn't allow printing and given an error message that "Replace the following empty ink cartridges to resume printing" - why does it need color cartridges to print in black when I am explicitly specifying it to use "Black cartridge only" in my print option? How do I make this printer a black and white only printer and igonre the status of color cartridges?

I have that happen as well. I have it set to print black only and it is still using color. Haven't a clue why!!!

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:

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.)

Hi JasperNM,
You may access a card within the cart reader by mapping a network drive to access it, then you may transfer the fies to your Mac.
First locate the printer IP address as following:
Follow these steps to print a Wireless Network Test Report, the IP address will be listed within that report:
On the control panel, press the Setup button ( ).
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Network Setup , and then press the OK button.
Press the OK button to select Print Network Settings .
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Wireless Test Report , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints.
Now map a network driver by following the steps below:
Click the Finder icon on your Mac.
Click the Go menu.
Click on Connect to Server.
In the Server Address field enter “smb://ipaddress of the printer” and click on Connect.
You will be prompted to enter the password. leave it as is and click on Connect.
The Memory card will be mounted as a disk in the Finder.

How to have "black and white only" be the default print option

Just installed a new printer and would like to set it up so that the default print option is black and white only. How do I do this?

Can't find this anywhere. I'm brand new to Macs so I
might need more detailed instructions.
I have an HP Photosmart C6100 by the way.
Not sure which post you are responding to since you replied to yourself
Every printer is a little different so you may have to do some searching through the settings. I don't have an HP Photosmart C6100 here so I can't say for sure where the setting is for that printer.
The closest thing I have to that model printer here is an HP OfficeJet 6310
In that model you choose Paper Type/Quality
In drop down menu under Color you select Gray Scale
Then you can still save the preset as I described in my previous post.
If the C6100 is different than that you may just have to search through option pages and explore the drop down selections.
Which I could be more specific, but they are all a little different.

OK, but still, they built the poorly made HP drivers in their OS.
Ah, no. They published the only drivers HP gave them. If they didn't publish them, then Mac users would be unable to use HP devices at all, except for those devices supported by 3rd parties such as Gutenprint and the HPIJS Project. HP is solely responsible for the state of their drivers. And it's not just Mac drivers which are bad; a lot of Windows drivers stink, too. HP simply has a problem writing drivers. For the most part they have excellent hardware, but truly terrible software.

Laserjet 2605dn - how do I turn it into a black and white only printer?

How do I turn it into a black and white only printer?
I just bought ink replacement for a whopping $563 which is way too much. My ink supplies have run out. I replaced the Balck ink but the printer is stuck in the "replace supplies" error w/ orange light flashing. Is there any way to re-configure the printer to only use as a B/W printer?

Found myself in the same boat. Try this link, worked for me

As for printing in B&W only, I don't think this printer has that capability, at least from what I've read.

How do I print a colour PDF in black and white

How do I print a colour PDF in black and white.

Thanks for that, unfortunately a) I'm a Mac user and b) I've already ticked the grayscale box in the print dialogue box and it seems to ignore or override the instruction and still print in colour. I've been in to the advanced instructions and tried a couple of different settings there but still no luck.

I have just establishes my airprint but am unable to instruct the printer to print black and white only.How to proceed please

i am unable to instruct my printer on airprint to print black and white only. The only option appears to be the no of copies.Any help please

Both the drivers
Canon SELPHY CP series Printer Driver 6.2 for Mac OS X 10.8 and the Apple Canon drivers
may be needed together. Not sure which will have to be installed before the other. As for your iPhone, you'll have to enquire on the iPhone forum how to make it work.
