Hello,
I want to print black ink only (all color cartridges are full). I have followed all instructions I can find, and select "Black and White only". It still prints in color. How do I get my printer to print only black ink?
Thank you!

Hi @JSHART
Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.
I understand that you would like to Print in Black only.
I'd like to help.
Are you trying to Print from a Windows PC or iOS computer?
If you are using a Windows PC, try these Steps.
- Go to devices and printers.
- Right, click OfficeJet Pro 8715.
- Select printer preferences.
- Click advance button.
- Go to printer features.
- Click print in greyscale and from the drop-down select Black ink only.
Or
- Go devices and printer.
- Right, click OfficeJet Pro 8715.
- Select printer properties.
- Go to device settings tab.
- And select the print color to black.
Please find the picture attached below.
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you. 🙂
