Welcome to HP forums, I see that you are unable to change the color settings.
- Provide the printer model number or product number?
Reply with the requested information for more assistance.
Cheers.

Sorry for the lack of info. I use the HP Smart app on my iPad3 and my HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 is the recognized printer. I can print from the iPad, but each time I want to print the default settings are "single-sided" and "color" ink. I almost always print in grayscale/black, so I have to manually change the ink to black. I can access settings both in the app and on the iPad, but nowhere have I found a way to change the default ink color. Thanks for your reply.
