I can't change print preferences (double sided printing, black ink only, fast draft) on my new MacBook. It worked fine on my PC..
Whenever you send a file to print from a program a small window shows up. If it shows only
Printer: Drop down menu ARROW
Presets: Drop down menu
Some buttons at the bottom
then click on the ARROW pointing down for more options. That will show more info, including a drop down menu that will allow you to change page settings, printing settings, etc. For example, if you want to change the printing quality, select "Paper Type/Quality" from that drop down menu and new options will show up allowing you to change the settings of the printer.
This is the best thing i've found so far

For Windows OS:
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Open Printers and
Faxes.
3. Right-click on Lexmark
3600-4600 Series print object and click on Properties.
4. In the Lexmark 3600-4600 Series Properties window, go to Advanced tab. Click on Printing Defaults.
5. In the Lexmark 3600-4600 Series Printing Preferences window, under Ink Use, select Print
using black ink only. Click OK.
6. Click OK button in the
Lexmark 3600-4600 Series Properties window to save the changes.
Your printer will print in
black and white draft mode the next time you send a print job to the printer.
For Mac OS:
1. With the file (you wish
to print) open, go to Print. A window will pop up.
2. Select the Lexmark
printer.
3. Expand the arrow
pointing down beside printer name if you're not able to see other options for
printing. Look for Quality and Media.
4. Under Paper tab, select Print in Black
and White.
5. Save this as your
default print setting. Click Presets option and choose Save as. You can
personalize the name for this default print setting (e.g. Black and White Draft
or My Setting).
Select this Preset name
every time you print your files/documents.
