HP Envy 5055

[AC28]

I have an Envy 5055. When I print either from my iPhone or iPad, there is no option to print in “black and white”. The only toggle is for “double sided”.   I appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi @AC28

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the  "no print black only option" issue. 

Which application are you trying to print from?

2. Tap Print or the Print icon  to open Printer Options.

3. Tap Select Printer to select your printer.

4. Change any of the following print job settings. Available settings vary depending on the app you are printing from, the print job type, and your printer.

   • Paper: Make any paper size changes on the printer. AirPrint automatically detects the paper size loaded in the printer or the size selected on the printer control panel. If the detected size is different than the paper in the tray, an error might display asking to confirm the size.

   • Number of copies: Select how many copies you want to print.

   • Black & White: Select to print in grayscale. This option only displays for color printers.

   • Double-sided printing: Print on both sides of the paper for certain file types.

   • Page range: Select specific pages within a document or webpage to print.
