How do I update HP OfficeJet Pro 8130e Color Default settings?

[bookedandbusy]

Hello! Could anyone help me update the default settings for the  HP OfficeJet Pro 8130e  to black ink only when printing. I was not able to find it in the manual and the results I found online did not lead me to the correct area. The color mode option was not available when I went to printer properties.
