How do I change the default setting "General Everyday Printing" to make it print in black ink only. I rarely ever need to print in color since 99% of my printing is black and white documents. Currently, I have to take the extra step to click on Properties, then either pick my shortcut "Black Ink Printing" or change the Print In Grayscale button to Black Ink Only. This kinda defeats the purpose of a "shortcut" if I have to take all these extra steps. Or is there a way to make my shortcut "Black Ink Printing" the default setting? I just want to print in Black Ink as a normal setting without having to change it EVERY SINGLE TIME I PRINT.
