Hi @jcork49,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

Follow the steps below in order to print using Black Ink only:

1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print.
The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.

If you see a black checkbox at the top of the print dialog, be sure to check it

2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.

4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expand the settings.

5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.

6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.

You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...

Whenever you use a preset to print, the used preset will remain default till another preset is used in the future.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
