Printing Form in Black and White

I have a form with multiple fields that have a background color. It also has a print button. I want it to print everything in black and white to save on color ink. I found one other discussion about this, but it didn't address how to make the whole thing print b&w. It was basically to add a preprint script changing fill color to white. When I put that script on the print button, before it prints that button turns white. How do I make it apply to the whole document without having to put a preprint script on each field? And how do I do a postprint script that will change everything back to the prior color? I am using Livecycle 8.0.

In the print diaglog box, look at the line that says "Safari".  Pull that down and select "paper type/quality".
Then look at the bottom for Color Options and click the disclosure triangle.  There you can slect color or B/W.

  • How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

    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:
    The printer is out of ink.
    The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

    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!!

  • HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

    Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac.  Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

    Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?

  • Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photosmart printer?

    Can I print in just black and white from my iPad to an hp5510 photos mart printer? 
    It seems ePrint is no longer available and now forced to use HP Connect. I am not seeing the option to print in black and white. Printing email messages in color is a waste of ink. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I was using ePrint however that is auto-directing me to HPConnected and I no longer have the option to change the printing options to Black and White or Color. This is a recent change for me.

    Hi,
    Yes, you have to use HP Connected now. Do you use AirPrint or ePrint ? ePrint allows you to select Color or Grayscale under Color mode (note: Grayscale ALSO uses color inks).

    Blac and white only from iPad to hp printer

    Hi Tigmay,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you would like to print black and white from your iPad to your Photosmart 5510 printer.
    AirPrint doesn't support many print settings, such as grayscale and black only but don't worry there is a way it can be accomplished.  If you download the HP ePrint Mobile app to your iPad one of your print settings allows you to choose between color and grayscale and if the printer supports it, black only.  I have included a screen shot from my iPad of the HP ePrint app that shows the setting.  The printer I had chosen (I don't have any of the Photosmart 5510 series printers) had the option of black only.  I've also included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document for your reference.

  • Won't print webpages in black and white

    Printing works fine when I am printing documents and other files, but when I want to print a webpage, printing is only done in color.  Even though I check 'Print black and white' on my computer's print preview page, and the print preview is in black and white, the printer still prints webpages in color.  What do I need to do to ensure that the commands I type on my computer reaches the printer? How do I make sure the printer is following the instructions I give it?  I am able to change it to black and white when I go into control panel > devices and printers > preferences > color > grayscale.  But when I have this checked it will only print in black and white and never color.  I am not able to figure out how to change it so that it prints black and white OR color depending on my command in the print preview page.  This is becoming very costly because of the uneccessary color ink that is being used so your help is appreciated.

  • HP deskjet 990cxi - won't print in just black and white

    Hi
    I've currently run out of coloured ink and don't have any budget to buy more at this time however I do have plenty of black.  Unfortunately despite changing the print settings in the control panel and in word to black and white only, the printer is still not printing in greyscale but still trying to use the last bit of colour ink and so therefore simply not printing the bits that are in colour at all.  Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix this?
    Many thanks

  • Printing email in black and white in Windows 10

    I would like to know if there is a way to print emails from Windows 10 in black and white. When I click the print all icon in Gmail, and select the 4480 all in one as the printer, there is no option to print in black and white.

    Hi there, Have you installed the FUll solution driver or just the IN-OS (Basic) Driver?  

  • Setting printer to just black and white

    Is it possible to set the 2605dn to just print black and white? 

    A driver is the program your computer uses to access/run/use your printer.
    If you use software update and download the latest drivers they MAY mess with the HP printer. After a lot of trouble I had to delete every HP file by using searches in Spotlight (or check in your HP folder in Applications on your hard drive and click on uninstaller), restart then download the latest drivers from HP and restart. After that no worries.

    The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve color not printing on your Deskjet 3522.   If this does not resolve the issues please provide some further details - what is the operating system on your computer?  Does the printer make color copies properly?

  • Override app preferences to print in grayscale/black and white

    I have successfully set up my eprinter to print in grayscale, however apps used on my iPad or Android phone (for instance, the coupons.com app) are able to override my preferences and print in color.  This defeats the purpose of saving money through printed coupons.
    Printer is HP 5510 and is set up with ePrint.

    Yikes! Unfortunately, this defeats one purpose of getting a wireless printer. Printing full-color coupons is a huge waste of money, not a money saver.

  • Why can't I print in black and white only?

    Why is the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus not able to print black and white only if the black cartridge is still not empty?
    What I mean is I went into the settings to set the printer to print black and white only as well as print text only in black.  Yet I am FORCED to replace the cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges because they are depleted.  What does cyan, magenta, and yellow ink have anything to do with printing black considering a SEPARATE black cartridge exists and is still full?
    I am aggravated at how the driver for this printer is designed TO FORCE me to purchase nonblack cartridges when I purposefully set the printing to be BLACK ONLY.  I am unable to go forward with my printing.  This is considered a show stopper and is unacceptable considering that the setting I assigned and the cartridge(s) depleted message contradict each other.  If the setting is made to print in black and white only including text, then print black and white since I know the black ink is still available.
    Take into consideration that printing can take place at anytime.  Not being able to use black as my alternate color (WHICH IS NOT EMPTY AND IS A SEPARATE CARTRIDGE) forces me to stop.  I am unable to go forward until the store opens.  WalMart is not always an option.   That is time lost.
    The inability to switch to use the black cartridge only is a time waster.
    Let's call it for what it is, a form of ransom. HP wants me to spend money on color cartridges that have nothing to do with printing black and white.   When I am ready to print in color, that should be a time of my choosing.
    Incidentally, the form I am trying to print is black and white only.  No color is on this form.  It makes no sense to force color printing of a black and white document.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    To protect itself specially the printheads, many printers NEED other inks even they only print black. During the warming up process, printers require all inks therefore they may stop before we can continue. Some printers allow user to print (specially the ones which have tri-color ink tank) but they may print at a baby snail speed.

  • Hoiw do I force my new mf8580cdw to print in black and white only (grey scale)?

    First of all I am using windows 7 - 64bit and my printer is the MF8580CDW. I am using the UFRII print driver. I have tried changing one/all of the profiles in the print settings and printer properties to "black and white" printing but the software keeps chainging my selection back to "Auto[Color/B&W]". I have also tried enabling the toner saver option to no avail. When I changed the settings I clicked "Apply". Why is the driver not saving my settings? How do I force the printer to always print in black and white?

  • I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing?  The print quality report is fine in color etc.

    I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white. 
    The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
    Is there a color button I am missing?

    In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
    Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
    Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.
