Is there anyway to AirPrint in black and white only?

is there anyway to only print in black and white when airprinting from ipad or iphone?  when my mom airprints websites, it causes my color ink cartridges to go almost empty.  if not, maybe apple should think about creating this option like they have for their macs.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I can not print black and white only documents and I have a full black ink cartridge

    I have been an loyal HP customer since the orginal laserjet in the early 90s and then many inkjets from HP after that.  
    I bought an HP 6600 All in one for the house and have only ever printed in black and white. 
    For some reason one of the color ink carts is empty after a few months of black and white only printing.   No problem - I only print in black and white - or so I thought. 
    Nothing I have been able to do (aside from buying a color cart I don't need) is able to tell the printer to not worry about color and only use the black and white cart.  Past inkjets from HP didn't have a problem with this.
    Please tell me HP didn't do this on purpose and is going to trying and justify the need for me to buy any color carts if I never print in color.  HP - if you did and you are going to try and tell me you neeeded to do this for any reason then someone please sign me up for the class action lawsuit if you are an attorney looking for plaintiffs.  
    However, I am sure I am overlooking some simple setting on the 6600 to move past this annoyance. 
    Thanks!

    Hi Atlanta90210,
    We appreciate your brand loyalty, and I'm very sorry for the frustration this has caused.
    There is a lot of good information in Cannot Print When One of the HP Ink Cartridges is Empty. It explains how your printer works and how it is designed. Another good resource is posted here.
    In the first link I mentioned, there are steps to print with black ink only. I have a similar printer to this at home (with the same print mech), and I have found that the steps to print with black ink only have saved me lots of ink.
    There needs to be ink in all the cartridges for this printer to continue printing (after the cartridge's reserve mode is depleted). Once you have replaced the empty cartridges, you can change the print settings to print with only black ink so the printer doesn't use color ink. Until then, there is not a way to bypass this.
    I know this is not the answer you were hoping to receive, but I do hope it was helpful.
    I'd be happy to help you with any other questions or concerns.

  • 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:

  • Printing in black and white only - looking for a definitive solution

    Hi
    I've been trying to find out once and for all how to make sure my black and white text documents are printing only from the large pigment-based cartridge (525 PGBK), rather than using the smaller black dye-based cartridge (526BK), or from a combination of the dye-based colour cartridges. I've trawled through endless forums, and finally in frustration I recently called Canon's Australian phone support team.
    I thought I'd nailed it. The phone support person told me that if the document I'm printing is definitely black only, then all I need to do is print normally, with grayscale DE-selected. He said nothing about also de-selecting duplex. But I've since read online advice that contradicts this in relation to other models (I haven't found any advice based specifically on the MG6150, apart from the phone guy from Canon). Some say you need to SELECT grayscale and DE-select duplex; others say to DE-select both grayscale and duplex; others say to select grayscale, DE-select duplex, and also select dither (on my screen that's under Main > Print Quality > Custom). I'm now wondering whether I've nailed it after all.
    If anyone from Canon is reading this, can you please give a definitive answer to these questions:
    1. How do I ensure that my black and white text documents print only from the large pigment cartridge?
    2. Can I print in automatic duplex using this method, or do I have to do manual duplex?
    2. Will this also work for purely black and white NON-text documents as well (e.g., photos that have been converted from colour to B&W)?
    3. If not, is there another way of forcing B&W NON-text documents to print from the pigment cartridge? What about a way of forcing colour documents to print from the pigment cartridge?
    4. If my smaller black dye cartridge (526BK) isn't being used up at the same rate as the other dye cartridges, is there a way of forcing the printer to use this instead of the pigment cartridge for B&W text documents, but NOT to mix in any of the colour cartridges at the same time?
    5. Does this procedure work for all other Canon printer models in addition to the MG6150, or just a limited range?
    Many thanks for your patience in reading this -- I'm really trying to get the best out of my printer rather than give up and buy a different brand, and I'm sure others would appreciate a definitive answer to these questions as well.

    I have at MG8100 and it seems that there is no solution to this. I have scoured the web for one and it seems that there is no way to print in black and white only. The grayscale option uses all the colours including black to print.
    I have gone through a ton of colour ink just printing black and white documents. Its cost me a fortune and I've worked out that I can get it done cheaper by going to the print shop.
    As far as I am concerned this unbelievable. A printer that doesn't give you the option to print using black ink only! And its not advertised or made known in any way. You have to buy the product and then find out later that it does not have a black and white print option. It seems there are a lot of people out there that are unhappy about this, and the "problem" seems to go quite far back. Why haven't Canon responded by adding this feature?! I wont say it here, but I think it must be obvious. Brings to mind the story of housecleaning product manufacturers that increase the size of the closures so that consumers will use more of the product, which is actually wasteful, so as to increase the purchase cycle.
    This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm flogging mine now, and I am done with Canon for good!

  • Printing black and white only

    My printer keeps printing out in color. It seems to have noted I have some links on my invoice which is an email and web address.
    Is there a way to print my invoices in black and white only?

    As far as I know, every printer driver give the ability to print in Black and White only.
    It just require a choice in the print dialog.

  • How to set black and white only on Photosmart Plus B210a

    I just buy my HP Photosmart Plus B210a at staples on 25. Usually I will just print some word documents，I want to set to use black and white only (black ink only), but can't find it.

    Hi espressoking,
    I understand that you are looking to print grayscale from your iPad. 
    I have included 2 different documents about using Apple's AirPrint.  The first one is from Apple and the second one is from HP.  If you find that the option to print in grayscale isn't available with AirPrint then I suggest you check out HP's ePrint app.  It gives you the options to print 'Color, 'Grayscale', or 'Black Only'.
    For further reference I have also included a document about getting started with the HP ePrint app.

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

    Hi oldstrings,
    You can change the print setting to print in grayscale(using black ink only).
    I have extracted out the printer setting tips for both windows and mac.
    Alternatively, you may refer to the below user guide reference link.

    hi, where did you change the color profile? I have a Hp Photosmart printer too and if I remember rightly, when you click 'print' in whatever application you are printing in there should be an option in one of the dropdown menus that comes up to change everything to black and white.

  • 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,
    TW

    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.
