Hi @Onlyme59

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the print settings. 

 

To better assist you - What's the iOS version on your devices? 

 

If you are printing from the HP Smart app, please try these steps - 

 

1) Launch the HP Smart app. 

2) Tap a Print tile to print from your device, social media account, or cloud storage, or tap the icons along the bottom of the screen.

3) Find a photo or document that you want to print and then tap on Print or the Printer icon .

4) To change the print settings, tap on the gray line above the printer's model name. 

 

 

5) Tap on "Color Option" and then select your preference. 

 

 

 

If you are printing using AirPrint, try these steps to set the color option -

 

1) Open the item you want to print.

2) To find the print option, tap the app’s share icon — reply icon or share icon — or tap .

3) Scroll down and tap pinter icon or Print.

4) Tap Select Printer to select your printer.

5) Next to the "Black & White" option, toggle the switch to enable it. 

 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
