I can't see where I can turn off the colour and print only in black and white? I can see how to print greyscale (which still uses up my colour ink) but is there a way to just print black adn white?
When choosing greyscale you should also have the option to "print using black print only" I am assuming you are using WIN XP START BUTTON CONTROL PANEL PRINTERS select the default printer right mouse click select properties select the printing preferences button select the color tab check the greyscale box the below that select the print in black ink only. I know this works because I just set it up for a customer yesterday. Good Luck, Tim

OK well shut me up...You machine has different settings.
Here is what I found. Choose the paper type to plain paper regardless of what kind of paper you are actually using. i.e. use photo paper but choose greyscale and plain paper. Interesting.
When selecting greyscale printing in the printer driver, does this use only the black ink or all the ink cartridges to produce the greyscale image?
Description:
It depends on the following conditions:
* Paper Type Setting and Machine Operation Mode
B/W PC Printing Mode
Plain Paper Black
Inkjet Paper Cyan + Magenta + Yellow + Black
Glossy Paper Cyan + Magenta + Yellow
Transparencies Cyan + Magenta + Yellow
Slow Drying Paper Cyan + Magenta + Yellow + Black
B/W Copy Mode
Plain Paper Black
Inkjet Paper Black
Glossy Paper Cyan + Magenta + Yellow
Transparencies Cyan + Magenta + Yellow
B/W Fax Reception Mode
Plain Paper Black
Inkjet Paper Black
Glossy Paper Cyan + Magenta + Black + Yellow
Transparencies Cyan + Magenta + Black + Yellow
All the colors in the color cartridges together make black.
Let me know if thats it.
Good Luck,
Tim
