how to print in black and white only on hp photosmart 6520

[farscape1999]

Cannot find a place to select print in black and white only on my HP Photosmart 6520 printer.

It prints color just fine, but sometimes I do not want to use my color cartridges. I selected B&W instead of gray scale, but cannot stop the color printing.

Thanks

Hi,

Please try (for Windows):

• Double click printer icon on desktop,
• Clich Set Preferences
• Click Advanced
• Under Grayscale, select Black ink only
• Click Ok/Apply ..

Please note: the printer still need color inks during warming up process.

Regards.

I did all as you suggested, but when I print, it still come out in color. Seem like there should be an option to select for black & white only. When I had a Kodak printer there was an option to selece either color or B&W.

Thanks for your reply!!

Hi,

Now please go back to the above menu again, does it keep this Black ink only option ?

No

Hi,

You have to click Apply to save this setup as mentioned on my very first reply.

Thanks again....
