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...

  • Pin names and numbers do not print with black and white printer setup option

    Multisim V12
    Printer HP LaserJet 1320
    File -> Print Options -> Print Sheet Setup, check In black/white, OK
    Then
    File ->  Print Preview, shows all elements of the drawing in black white
    Then  select Print and the drawing prints without pin names and pin numbers.
    The same procedure with the black/white unchecked previews in color and then prints all circuit elements

    Hi HiZTrace,
    I used Multisim 12 with the same configuration and printed with a HP LaserJet 4250, but it seemed to be working well for me. There could be some incompatibility issue with your printer driver. A workaround you can try is to install a PDF Converter and print the file in color, then print the generated PDF file in black and white. There are many PDF Converters available, for example, CutePDF Writer (free)
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:

    I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!!  I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
    You should be ashamed!!

  • HT3669 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

    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. 

  • 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 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:

    Hi ep43,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like the options to change from color printing to black and white on your HP Photosmart 7525. I would like you to follow the steps listed below on your computer:
    1. Go to your Start Menu
    2. Select Devices & Printers
    3. Right click on your PS 7525 and select Printing Preferences
    4. Click on the Advanced Options
    5. Here under Printer Features, you will have the option to Print in Grayscale, Black Ink Only or Off (which would default to color printing)
    I hope this helps!

  • How do i Drag and Drop print in black and white?

    I really like the drag and drop printing feature where i just drag several files to the printer icon in the doc and they print with out opening the file. My only problem is that i can't get them to print in black and white, or choose any other features for that matter. it is printing in color, which is the printer's default. Does any one know how to print in black and white with the drag and drop feature. i have set the printer to black and white for a single document, then tried to drag and drop, but it still does it in color only. i am using pdf's by the way, but it happens with jpegs as well.

    You should create another printer queue for the printer and choose an appropriate name for the queue. You can then put the printer in the Dock. Now use the web interface to the printing system <http://127.0.0.1:631/printers>. Locate your new printer and click on the "Configure" button. You will need to authenticate yourself using the short user name and password of an administrator's account. You will then be able to set the defaults for that printer. Click "Continue" when you are done.
    You can now drag and drop those files you want printed to the appropriate printer icon in the Dock.
    Note: This does not work for every printer. There are some manufacturer's drivers that do not put these options in the printer's PPD. They generate them on the fly when you call the print window.

  • 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!!!
