I recently bought a hp photosmart all in one printer and can't figure out how to save ink by printing in black and white when I do not need to print in color.
Could anyone please help me out? I looked through the online manual but did not find an answer. I gone to preferences and I just can't figure it out?
I would like to save money!
Thank you ahead of time..
When you choose to print, a print window opens.
In the Print window, under the heading "Presets", there is an option to print in B&W.
Select that, and you won't use any color ink.
Hello...I wen to "presets" and there is only two options: standard and last used. Bummed out...Any other suggestions? Do you have this brand of printer?
Japamac,
Thank you for your suggestions but when I went to the preset drop down I did not have an option to change it to black and white. Do you have any further suggestions, please?
In the Print Dialog look for some settings like this...
Then save your Grayscale or B&W preset as here...
Thank you so much!!...😉 I usually can figure these things out quickly!!
Can I use this as a default when I print or do I have to specify this every time I print a document?
Good news, great to hear, not on a Mac with a Printer at the moment, but somewhere in there, there are options to "Use last profile/printer or such, or maybe " Save as Default" 🙂

No shame there, they've turned "Printing" onto Rocket science much to my dismay! 😉
Do you have this brand of printer?
Yes, a HP309a.
That's how I knew that the optiuon was there.....
Did you get it to print B&W?
If so, the last profile setting should get you through the next print job.
First time Post user:
I am running OSX and unfortunately there is no paper selection option. Also dont have any printer options to select B&W. Any suggestions from other people?
Please if i may ask respectfully, kindly only respond to the problem if you actually had the same problem and solved it. No sense in making assumtions.
I'll respond to ask you this; what version of OS X do you have?
There are 8 or so possibilities with differences based on version.
There are also possible exceptions due to print driver variations, so knowing the model of printer might be nice to help someone help you.
