Dell 926 All-In-One InkJet Printer Logo
Ben Eggertsen Posted on Jul 19, 2009

My Dell Photo 926 stopped printing in color. It prints in black and white. If I make a copy, it can still make a color copy. I'm stuck.

Can't print photo in black and white

Could this be the problem? From the User Guide: "Print Color images in Black and White -- Print your color images in black and white to save the ink in your color ink cartridge.
NOTE: You cannot select this setting if you have selected Color Cartridge for all Black Printing"

Dell Photo 944 won't print black and white

I had the same problem and just figured it out! On your control panel, choose printer and then Properties. Go to Printing Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. Under this tab is a button for More Options and then a section Complete-A-Print. I had to uncheck "use color cartridge for all black printing" and then check "use black cartridge to print in black and white." Then I had the option back to print in black and white. I have a Dell Photo 964 but I'm assuming the options should be the same. Hope this helps someone!

I am trying to print in black and white on my dell photo AIO printer 926 it wont even let me check the box for to print in black and white what can I do?

The problem was that the print options had switched to print using the color cartridge to make up for my empty black ink cartridge.

After you click on print, and then click the preferences button, next go to the Advanced tab. Once there, there should be another button that says, More options. Once that tab is opened, check the box that says, "Use black cartridge to print in black and white."

I was convinced that something was wrong with my new printer cartridge and called Dell. Unfortunately, they wouldn't or couldn't help me and I just lucked up this solution.
