How to get AirPrint on iOS to print color documents in black and white?

I use iOS 6.0.1 and I use AirPrint on my iphone4s to print documents wirelessly to my printer. The problem is that if the document that I am printing has ANY color on it at all, the printer will print that part in color. Sometimes I actually want the document in black and white only. But AirPrint doesn't give us the option to do this , like OS X for Mac does.
Color ink is way too expensive to just be using "willy-nilly".
Apple , give us a black and white option on AirPrint !
Anyone know any ways around this until Apple updates iOS ?

It might be a problem with your printer's color profile. Did you try to set the color profile in the print dialogue to "black and white" (choose: "more options" in the print panel) ?

  • Help! How can i print a color document in black and white?

  • Acrobat 9.31 / Browser Plugin - Printing Color PDF as Black and White?

    I have an interesting issue for the masses. For a couple of our users (it encompasses both Windows XP x64 and Windows 7 x64), they are having an issue where when they attempt to print a PDF directly from Acrobat's browser plugin (in this case, IE8 is the browser), and attempt to print a color PDF to a color printer, the PDF comes out in black and white.
    Here's some other consistents:
    * Printing to a network printer, using the print driver Canon C5180-H1 Ver.2.0JM. The problem spans across two different print servers (we use a different one for XP clients and 7 clients, but the driver is the same)
    * When the user clicks on "Print As Image", it does work (but doesn't look quite as good)
    * When the user saves the PDF to a file and then opens it in the full Acrobat 9 Pro application, it does work (but this is a bit annoying)
    Can anyone suggest some other things I should check and/or reasons that this might be happening? I'm at a total loss to explain it but will happily accept suggestions on ways to fix it.
    Thanks!

    Following up to see if anyone has some solid ideas on how this might be happening.
    Thanks!

    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.

  • How do i get Firefox to print web pages in black and white only (colors are interpreted in grayscale and some are too light to be read)?

    i have a black and white laser printer. Firefox prints web pages by sending color images to my printer. The printer uses greyscale to interpret the colors. i really want Firefox to send black and white images to my printer, because with greyscale some of the colors are translated to print that is too light to be seen clearly.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks,

  • How to print a selection of pages from a 3000   page PDF without having to scroll two wheels! Also is there a way to set printer options for just black and white? Seems like there is a lot missing here?

    I have been using this for school work as much as possible and have come across a problem. With my lack of knowledge for apple it seems as though I can't navigate myself to a easy answer. The problem hits when I am printing pages off of a large document, and I don't want to print the entire document in color but I have no way "that I can find" for a black and white print option...
    ----- also a larger issue, when printing I need to select 1 page or even 20 pages... The time it takes to use a scroll wheel and the fact if you try and scroll fast sometimes you click off the screen then you have to start scrolling all over again... It seems like you would beagle to input from say page 1224 to 1236.... Instead I have a scroll a wheel? Just doesn't make sense...?
       Can someone please help solve this for me!

    Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
    It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

  • URGENT HELP REQUIRED: HP PRINTER ONLY WORKING IN BLACK AND WHITE

    Hi - really hoping somone can help..!  Just updated all three Macs to new OSX Mavericks and now both HP printers 940c and 5510c both only print in black and white.  Need to get them working in colour for my daughters school homework!!
    Have seen all the forums saying look at printer settings, but none of the settings have the old OSX options turning black and white and colour on and off.  It appears the drivers that were on the previous Mac software have been deleted or turned off by Apple..?  WHY!!  I wish I had not updated any of the Macs if I'd known I'd lose printing functionality!!!  
    Seems HP no longer provide drivers for these printers that are over 5 years old.  Trouble is I've got hundreds of pounds worth of colour cartirdges already bought for them that I thought I'd use!!!!!!!!!  Maybe I need to go back to a PC as at least you can print things!!! ;-)
    Look forward to any helpful comments....
    Thank all...

  • Problem printing page numbers in black and white

    Using Pagemaker 7.0 and creating a PDF file that I send to a printer. The interior pages of this newsletter get printed in black and white.  The page numbers do not show up in the black page number background oval.  The printer says that that is because the two colors used for the page number and the oval background both get converted to the same gray scale value.  He suggested that I set the page number to white and the background to black.  Is there any way to set the colors that are used for the page number and the background?

    You should make sure that anything on your interior pages is black and white, never trust someone else to convert things to B&W for you. If you are using a master page for the page numbers, that should be black and white too. You can have two master pages, one for color page numbers and one for black and white page numbers.

  • How to re-save a color PDF as black and white

    It seems to me I was able to do this with a previous version of Acrobat, but so much has changed with the interface, I couldn't find where to do this in Acrobat X.
    I originally created a color document in InDesign and exported it as a PDF to send to the printer.
    Next thing I know, they needed it quickly changed to black and white.
    I would have saved a lot of time if I could have found how to do it from Acrobat rather than having to change everything in InDesign.

    If you mean converting color to grayscale, you can do this in the Print Production tools in Acrobat Pro (not available in Acrobat Standard). To make the Print Production tools available, click the small menu at the upper right of the Tools pane and select Print Production.
    You can either use the Color Colors tool and convert to a grayscale profile. Or you can use the Preflight tool and select the Single Fixup "Convert Color to Grayscale."

  • HP printer does not prit black and white if one of the color heads are depleted?

    I bought a 7110 A3 printer and have had several problems till today. The first was that the printer does not print in A3 format if the system is not in Amrican English. Now I just swap the black cartridge and when I use this printer says that the yellow cartridge is over and it does not print anything even in black or white! The strange thing is that i  never print anything in color, only use black ink! I'm almost throwing the printer out the window, i do not know how i got scamed again by HP . I had promised myself never to buy anything from this company anymore!
