  • I need to print in black and white

    My printer has a black cartridge and a color cartridge.  Any thing I scan that is in color prints in color.  I need to scan a color document and print it in black and white.  There are no options when I hit print for printing in black and white instead of color.  How do I do that?

    Hi lasers, If you are printing direct from the scanned image try the following. Select print - select options - Printer Properties - Advanced - There will be an option to print in greyscale in this menu. I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can help with anything else. Many Thanks,Francheska

    Hi Jeeeez,
    I understand you have a Photosmart 7520 that you're wondering if you can print with when one of the colors is out. I will certainly do my best to address you question!
    Unfortunately this printer requires all of the ink cartridges have something in them whether you are trying to use that particular cartridge or not. This is simply for the health of the printhead, because if it dries out then nothing will print at all, new ink or not. Once you have all of the inks with something in them inserted in the printer you can set it to print in Black Ink Only from the computer as well for future use.
    If you'd like to know how to set the printer to print using Black Ink Only from the computer, please let me know which version of Mac or Windows that you're using and I will get back to you with instructions.
    Hope this answers your question, have a great day!!

    Hi,
    Click the Apple icon and select Software Update. Clcik teh top Store menu and select Reload This Page.
    If there is any HP update be sure to install it.
    Next open Printers & Scanners, remove the printer and click the plus sign to re-add it.
    If the same persists, please have a look what is listed within the Use drop down menu while adding the printer.
    As well be sure to confirm you OS version by clicking the Apple icon and then About This Mac.. what is the exact listed version number?

    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 make my officejet 6500a print in black and white only?

    I just bought an officejet 6500a and I can't figure out how to make it print in black in white only.  I print a lot of stuff that doesn't need color and want to save my ink. On some prints it gives me that option when I print. but for the most part it doesn't allow me to change to black and white on things i am printing off the web

    Pages 30-34 of the user manual for the Officejet 6500A covers how to change print preferences for the printer with both Mac and Windows. It covers documents, brochures and photos and covers finding the gray scale option. Here is a link to that manual http://goo.gl/6J61R .
    I hope that this helps.

  • 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.
