Set print default settings to grayscale?

Is there a way to set the default print settings to grayscale like you can on a Windows computer?
I have an HP Photosmart B210E, but the only way to print grayscale all the time is to be sure to set it on File/Print's dialog or replace my printer with a Grayscale only one.

Mine is with OS X 10.7.2. Hope this helps.
1. Once you click print from whatever applications of your Mac. It should be like this
Then click drop-down list. Go to "Quality & Media", as in above picture.
2. In "Quality & Media" menu, mark on "Grayscale printing" as shown in below picture.
3. Go to "Presets" 's drop-down list. Select "Save Current Settings as Preset..."
     as shown below.
4. Choose your Preset Name, as well as its availability. (see following picture). Then click OK.
>>>> Now you're done.
Next time you print, just select from Presets' drop-down list as you saved it!

  • Setup printer defaults settings in BI reports

    Hi,
    Our client has given us some new requirements to be able to setup printer defaults settings in BI reports so that when the user opens up the report the printing format is set for them. All the user has to do is refresh the BI report and then it will print correctly for them, with Headers and Footers.
    Now, I know we can not do this with the Query Designer, but we may be able to do it with workbooks, but what I don’t know is if there are other options we can take to do this.  Such as the Report Designer? I have never used the Report Designer so I don’t know if we can build reports using the Report Designer and that the user can access and run this report from somewhere such as the portal.
    Can any one please help in this regard.
    Regards,

  • Cannot set printing defaults on 8500 A909g Officejet Pro Wireless

    After a whole year, HP has STILL NOT told us how to set printing defaults for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g all-in-one so that the default settings really stick for everything.  For example, how to make the machine print everything Back-to-Front reliably.
    Please go to THIS LINK for the related thread in these forums, and please provide any suggestion you may have.
    Bad show, HP !

    Bump - still waiting for an answer.

  • How can I change printer default settings?

    Officejet J5700 series: 
    How can I set the default settings so I dont have to change the printer Properties each time I print? 

    just thought of one thing that may have solved the problem. I had not changed color management from automatic to manual. I did that and it seems to now be working the way I want it. More later if that doesn't hold across reboot, log out, etc.

  • How set printer defaults for a printer

    My motivation is to have my wife's new MacBook always print double-sided. Currently she needs to select the preset that we've made for printing duplex, but that's easy to forget to do.
    OS is 10.4.7
    Is there a way to set the printer defaults in this OS?
    I want to have duplex just be the default, even after reboot, and if she wants to print single-sided then she'd need to select the other preset.
    BTW: If it makes a difference -- We're using a Xerox 8550DP, for which the duplex selection is in the standard place of Print -> Layout -> Two-sided -> Long-edged binding
    (Some other printers require using the duplex selection in their own printer's section under that Copies & Pages dropdown menu but not this one.)
    Maybe I'm just not a very good searcher. I searched many here, MacFixit, MacWorld magazine, generally on the web. Looked in my David Pogues's Tiger book and Andy Ihnatko's Tiger book. I came up with nothing about setting printer defaults at all.
    I bet I can tweek it in a pref file. I hope I don't have to resort to a hack to do something this standard.
    Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    I think you can do this. Set up a two-sided setting,
    and save it. Print with it. Then find the preference
    file com.apple.print.custompresets.plist, choose Get
    Info, and lock it.
    If you want to save another setting, you will have to
    unlock it.
    Hey this is only a workaround but it is a pretty darned good workaround, especially because it's not too invasive (only locking a pref file at the user level) and what's stored in that custompresets.plist file is com.apple.print.lastPresetPref, which is probably the key to your suggestion. I think I understand it, anyway.
    I followed that procedure, created a Custom Preset with duplex turned on which I named "Standard Duplex", then locked the file you suggest that's in my user's home Library. It survived app switching and a reboot. It seems to work great, and I can still use the Standard setting as well if I want to. I even chose the custom setting and although it's locked the temp changes I made were enacted (I chose to print this page, scaled to fit a #10 envelope) and that worked too. The Standard or other presets can still be chosen when you want to use those, and the app remembers the last setting through the rest of the session, it's just that upon opening an app the default is now my custom "Standard Duplex". This does what I want.
    I think this is a great workaround. I'm going to go load it onto my wife's MacBook. I suppose I should mark this solved even though there's no real, y'know, user-manual way to do this. Maybe something I'll just hope is a feature in Leopard.
    Thank you Bruce and all the other helpful folks who pondered on this one! Heh, I'm sure 1/2 of the tree population thanks you too.

  • How to set printer default to Tray

    Just purchased an Epson WorkForce 845 all-in-One. The printer has two paper trays. Paper tray #1 can be adjusted for paper size and envelopes. Tray #2 can only handle 8.5x11 inch paper. I would like to set the print default via ethernet to use tray #2, with a separate saved setting to use tray #1 for envelopes. After trying to do this via the Print & Scan System Preference in conjunction with a print dialog in Pages, the printer sent back an error message to the Epson WorkForce 845 printer status window.  I eventually deleted the printer from the printer list in the System Preference and reinstalled it. Everything prints normally if each print job is set up each time in the application print dialog. That means reloading paper or envelopes after each type of print job. The solution is probably pretty simple, but so far, has eluded me. Any thoughts?
    2011 iMac 20.5 inch using OS 10.7.3 with 12 MB Ram via ethernet.

    I just got this printer (Workforce 845) and had similar frustrations with the unit as it defaults to print tray 1.   This is the only tray that will hold 4x6 photo paper, so everything, including the test page, printed onto the photopaper.
    I am running on a mac runing Lion 10.7.X
    I  tried many things including contacting epson and they said "On a Mac, you are unable to change the printer's default settings."
    The trick is to use the printer pop up (accessed when printing) by selecting the drop down in the middle of the screen that, on my mac, shows that app's name that is running.  Select the "print settings' line and set the tray to cartridge 2, then save this as the default by going to the printer 'presets' drop down (second from the top) and select'save current settings as Preset...".   It's really pretty simple, but I wasted a lot of time trying all the other options, so I thought I would try to save others the hassel.
    This can be seen in the user manual under: http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/wf845_/wf845_ug/index.html
    Additional info:
    Access to the printer can be gained from your browser by going to URL: http://epsonbb82c2.local./PRESENTATION/HTML/TOP/INDEX.HTML?
    but this didn't help to configure the trays, but it does allow for a firmware update that I decided to try.
    Epson's late response to Lion drivers (you must download these from the Web and they warn against using the CD drivers that come with the printer if you run Lion) and there poorly implimented  mac s/w drivers tainted my first impressions for this product.

  • BUG: Printer default settings not being used when selected in Print Dialog Prompt

    We have 2 styles of printers on our computers: and Epson Receipt Printer (paper size Roll Papper 80mmx257m) and a Dell printer (paper size 8.5x11)
    Our issue is if use us the non-defaulted printer to print something in Internet Explorer, it overrides the default printer setting with its default settings of that non-default printer.  When we try to use the default printer again, the settings will
    not switch back to the appropriate settings of that default printer.  
    Example: (Epson selected as Default Printer in Windows 7 Professional)
    I open IE and select print on a page.  I select the Dell printer and hit apply to change the print settings to the default settings of that Dell.  Everything prints fine.  I then try that same page, but this time I select the Default Printer
    (Epson) and hit "apply" in the Printer Dialog Prompt and print.  The print out is of the paper size letter and not the default settings for the Epson which is Roll Paper.  I look at the settings in the preferences from IE's Print Dialog
    Prompt and it shows it will use the Paper Size: LT 8.5x11 in.  
    If I close and re-open IE and print that same page to the Epson without selecting the Dell I see that the settings are back to the defaults for the Epson and things print as they should.
    Why doesn't IE use the default settings after selecting any printer and hitting apply in the print dialog prompt past the first change of printer selection?

  • Change printer default settings

    I have and HP Officejet Pro 8600.  The print default setting is to print colour.  How do I set the default setting to Black Ink  
    Regards

    Go to Devices and Printers, right click the printer, click Printing Preferences then go to Advance tab, usually there is an option there that you have to set to print only in grayscale. Hit Apply then ok, then close the window.

  • Correct printer default settings

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
    Can someone help me !!!!
    This is driving me nuts.
    For some reason the Default settings, when I print anything on my home printer have changed.
    - Paper size - other
    - orientation - landscape
    Therefore everytime I print I get 1/2 the print coming over the right hand side of the page.
    I can correct, but need to do this every time I print.
    Can someone please tell me how I can change the default print settings for my printer, so I don't have to change them ever single time I print.
    Many thanks
    have a great day
    Regards
    Mark

    Hello diedoggie,
    You can change the default printer settings in CUPS.
    Just go to: http://localhost:631/admin > Manage printers > Select your printer > Change "Administration" to "Set Default Options". When you're done, you click "Set Default Options".

  • Print Shortcut does not use set Print Defaults

    Hi there!
    I have a question regarding using the Print Command in Mac's version of Office.  I will try my best to describe the issue.
    I have a user who wants his default print settings to include 1-sided printing.  If he goes and sets up the feature like that and then saves those settings as his default print settings it prints 1-sided printouts when he selects File>Print or Cmd>Print.  It does not print 1-sided however, if he selects the Print Command shortcut (the little printer button shortcut).
    I attempted to remove the shortcut and re-add it, being sure to select the shortcut whose description included using the default print settings but it still won't work.  Anyone seen this before?  Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Hmmm, wondering what I was thinking now... I don't see a way to set double sided there!?
    I guess you're stuck using CMD+p, if that works.

  • Mac print default settings by document?!

    i am on a mac running Mountain Lion. I have an HP 8600 and an Epson Wide Format. I have documents that are 11 x 17 and 12 x 18. these all seem to default to print on my 8600 at 8 x 11.
    this means that every time i try to print these documents i have to hit PAGE SETUP, then I have to pulldown to the EPSON, then i have to pull down to 11 x 17 PAPER, then i have to hit OK, then i have to pull down to ESPON AGAIN (because the default printer that i use is the 8600 for 8 x 11 prints).
    half the time i make some kind of mistake and the document comes out on the 8600 on 8 x 11 at the /correct/ size (even though it is missing half the document) /or/ it comes out on the Espon on 11 x 17 paper as if it was being scaled to fit for 8 x 11.
    is there some way to figure out how to print out of Acrobat X in some more reliable way? is there some technical document that explains this? the software suite was like 1200 US or something i would think that i would not continue to have these kinds of problems.
    is there some step by step guide for setting up presets? another solution?
    it took me about a year and a half to finally figure out how to simply print to 12 x 18 paper (don't ask) and i am still manually swapping out paper trays for slot 1 so that i can print on 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 respectively simply because trying to find another variable in these dialogs is like adding a multiplicity factor which makes the possible combinations like trying to calculate the parabolic trajectory for landing on the moon from earth.
    should i just give up and print out of Mac Preview?
    anyone able to explain why this is so complicated?
    THANKS

    I work at a PC, AA9, but is there an option in your print dialog
    Choose Paper Source by PDF Page Size?
    assumes the documents are 11 x 17, 12 x 18
    Optionally, you might create a 2nd (and 3rd) instance of your Epson printer and change it's default paper size to 11 x 17 (12 x 18) and name the printer Epson Tabloid (Epson Tabloid Extra). Choose the appropriate printer per the document. 

  • How to set the default settings for all users in 11.1.1.3

    I have couple of questions
    1. How can I change the default setting for all the users so that whenever they log in the planning takes them to the Task lists mode. Or is this a one time thing which they need to do individually ?
    2. How can I set the defalut setting for all the users so that they can see the same page when they log into Workspace ?

    For workspace have a read of - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/bpmui_admin/assigning_default_preferences.html
    For planning you can't really set it without hacking tables.

  • Label Printer Default Settings Changing

    I have several Crystal reports designed in version 10 that are printed to a particular Dymo labelwriter.  The same labelwriter model is installed on several PCs and the report is saved calling out that specific printer and label size.  The report always prints to the proper printer (regardless of the PC's default printer) but they do not print to the labelwriter default label size.  My PC is the only exception; all others that print labels require users to select the appropriate label size.  Each labelwriter printer driver is defaulted to the same label size, but the crystal report viewer doesn't seem to pick that up.  What am I missing??

    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.
