Printing in black and white from an ipad on a deskjet 2540 without going through a router

My wife purchased a HP Deskjet 2540 all in one so that she can print directly from her ipad. She is going directly to the printer not through our router. It works great except that everything is printed in color? And unable to adjust the size such as fit to page etc.
How do we get it to print directly from the ipad in black and white and is there a way to set the size eg: Fit to page etc.???

You most likely need to download the HP app for your iPad to do the correct print settings to properly print - this might be the case here. If you still download and install the HP app and it doesn't work then there might be a limit to what your iPad can do for prints.

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

    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.

  • 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).

  • 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. 

  • Printing in Black and White From Ipad2

    I would like the option of printing my emails and amazon reciepts in black and white.  I have the HP Photosmart E-aio D110a printer.  I am trying to print in black and white from my ipad2.
    I consulted with Apple Support as well as HP support today.  HP seems to think there is a program/app in the Apps store for printing in black and white.
    Any idea's would be appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Cant print in black and white from USB. HP laserjet CM1415fn

    Hi,
    how can I adjust my settings to ensure that I print black and white only when I print direct from the USB ?
    The multifunction centre is not currently synced or set up on any of my PC's and have no option to adjust via PC settings, only adjustement can be made using the multifunction centre touch screen.
    thanks

    Hi HPuserq,
    I read your post, which indicates that you want to set the printer to print to black and white for a USB connection, but the printer isn't setup on a computer at this time. You want to set it on the printer. I can help you with this.
    The only settings that you can set from the printer are for the copy settings.
    You would have to set the black and white settings from the print driver when it is installed on the computer.
    From the printer properties, click on the Color tab and select grayscale.
    Please clarify if you mean a USB flashdrive.
    Have a wonderful day!
    Thank You.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    Hi,
    From the application used to print open the print dialog.
    Click Properties / Preferences / Settings to access the Printing Preferences dialog.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Under Printing Features set the Print in Grayscale value as Black Ink Only.

  • 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.

  • Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw print in black and white

    Hello,
    I have a Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw printer that is contected to a network so that multiple users can print from it. I want to be able to restrict it so that they can only print in black and white and double sided. Is this possible? and if so could you please tell me how?
    I am not able to restrict them on a print by print basis, hence I am looking for a solution where I only have to make the change once.
    Thanks for your help!

    I understand you want to change a setting one time so that no matter who is sending the printer a print job it prints in gray scale.  Actually I found two ways to do it.  Here is the basic way to do it as described on page 16 of the User Guide.  Also, you could set up this printer to receive emails (ePrint) in gray scale only.  I just did a test after making changes in my ePrint settings at www.eprintcenter.com and no color was printed on a regular document containing color.  I hope that answers your question.  If not, let me know. I will be happy to explain greater detail.

  • Laserjet 4700 only printing in black and white on windows7 systems

    I have an HP Laserjet 4700 printer (Model Q7493A). It works perfectly fine in XP. When I have attempted to install it on a windows 7 system, it will only print in black and white.
    I have downloaded the current universal print drivers from the HP website
    I have other printers of the same model which don't have the problem. 
    I have tested this printer on other win7 systems and have recreated the issue. 
    It looks like for some reason this printer is only installing the Black and white drivers from the universal print driver. 
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
    You can find the Commercial Laserjet board here:
