How do you fix it so that your printer only prints in black and white? -

Sometimes I don t feel like wasting the color ink. I am VERY new to the computer so PLEASE be VERY specific. Thank you so much for your help.

Well, when you open the document you want to print, go to File gt;gt; Print. In the window that will open you will see a button quot;propertiesquot;, click it, and then pick a quot;colorquot; tab. There you will see an option quot;print in grayscalequot; (you will have to check it). Click ok and voila!

When the print box comes onto your screen, choose printer properties. There you can tell it to print black/white, grayscale, or full color.

Copy and paste the documents you are printing into an email composition or Word and change the colors. Typically you go through more black ink than color, unless you re printing a lot of pictures.

I have my colour printer installed twice - one has COLOUR in the title and the other MONO, in the properties of the one labelled mono I have the grey scale (or Bamp;W) option ticked. Now when I print I simply select the printer marked COLOUR for pictures etc or the one labelled MONO for text documents. You can actually do this as many times as you like, so I have one labelleb 6 x 4 photo, and this setting is configured for photo quality 6 x 4, no messing and it works a treat.

iF YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT CARTRIDGES, JUST TAKE OUT THE COLOR ONE.

prefrences color --gt; print in gray scale --gt; only black cartirage.

Set the printer s properties to only print grayscale. Also, in the software you re printing from you can select grayscale in the advance print menu.

simply go to your printer setting and search for the check box where it is indicated black ink only or black and white, then press ok

Assuming you have Windows XP, take the following steps... 1. Click My Computer 2. Click Control Panel over on the left side 3. Click on Printers and Faxes 4. Right-Click the printer you are referring to and then click Printing Preferences 5. From here, it depends on your Printer. There may be an advanced button where you can select Black Ink Only.

if your printer printing in black and white maybe your printer just work in black and white but your printer is a color printer maybe your color cartridge has been ran out and you must buy another and replaced whit this and maybe properties of your printer changed to black and white print that you must try to find this attribute at the printer properties. good luck

only put black ink in it!!!!!!!!

When you go to print something and the printer screen pops up go to advanced settings and selst greyscale and it should print black and white.
