How can I get my Lexmark 2300 to print in black and white? -

I cannot find any under options, and don t just say printgt;properties, be specific, because I have looked at every tab in properties and I can t find it anywhere, it not under any of the tabs in properties. Please help, the other answers on here weren t helpful at all!

Look at the cartridge(s) in your printer. One cartridge, not two? Is it a #1? The 2300 runs on one cartridge. In that cartridge are three different colors; cyan, yellow and magenta. No black. Your cartridge will make black by layering all three colors. You don t have the option to select black printing, because it is not availalbe with that ink system; there is no black ink in it. Kick it to the curb and get yourself a more economical printer.

Hi there. I m assuming this is for most Lexmark printers, which I have one of them. It all depends on what software you re using. Each software may have different ways of accessing the Print dialog box. Here s how you do it: (option #1 should be common to all popular software out there) 1) Select PRINT from the quot;filequot; menu toolbar 2) If you re using Windows XP, you ll see a familiar print dialog box. If you just have one printer installed, it s probably selected already, otherwise, click on the printer you want to print to then click on the Preferences (or sometimes Properties) button below under quot;Select Printerquot; boxed frame 2) quot;print color images in b/wquot; option should be there at the bottom of the box, or in one of the Lexmark settings (mine s in Quality/Copies tab, bottom right corner) 3) Just check it on to print in b/w and check it off to print in color. Hope this helps

if you can t find it in the printer properties then try changing it in the settings in the program, for example, excel allows you to print black and white.
