Color display you want to only print in black and white?

Hi all

I have been responsible for creating a PDF file that displays in color on the screen but will print in black and white. It doesn't matter who chooses to print from any computer.

Any ideas if this is even possible? If so, how?

Searched the web and can't find anything, so any help is very appreciated.

See you soon

Is not possible.

  • HP 4520 Envy: Envy 4520 only printing in black and white

    Whenever I try to print a PDF online or a document of microsoft word or powerpoint ect., it prints in black and white. I did a test of color of the printer and align the cartridges and everything went well. The properties are not set to print in grayscale. I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    Hello @BlueOlive, greetings!

    Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

    I understand that your printer prints in black and white only, even if you can make a color copy.

    According to me, the question is in the print settings itself. Please follow the steps and check mentioned below:

    • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 4520 right-click and select Printing Preferences.
    • In the pop-up window, click on the 'Advanced' button - check for printing in grayscale option. Make sure it is turned off.
    • Also once you try to print a document please go to properties of the printer to make sure it is not set in the option "print in grayscale".

    If the steps above has not resolved the problem, it could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same. You can visit http://hp.care/2bYZled to download the drivers.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • Do I have to have a color cartridge in my printer (C5550) although I only print in black and white?

    HP Photosmart C5550 - do I need to have a cartridge full color ink in my printer, even if I print only in black & white?

    I always installed one, but due to lack of use, it will dry out.  Looks like a big waste of money if I have on the machine to make it work.

    Hello

    Even just print in B & W (do not use perpetual mix), you still need to color ink cartridges because the system just asking this to 'protect' the printer.

    Sorry, I don't know the logic behind this, but it's the way the system works.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: 8600 pro only printing in black and white

    Hello

    I have recently switched to an Imac OS X Yosemite running on a windows computer.

    I installed the software disc supplied with the printer for OSX 10.6 mountain lLon, which has been updated automatically during the installation. The problem is the printer will print only in black & white and lists the printer as a generic laser printer.

    should I uninstall the current software and reinstall a version of zero software.

    Thank you.

    I think there could be some problems with the drivers as you said that I suggest to uninstall the software completely and install the drivers from the link below.

  • Printing in black and white

    I have a new deskjet 2050 j510.

    I can't find a way to force a color document or a picture to print in black and white. Every other printer I've owned has had this option.  In seeking, someone suggested that HP has removed this option in order to force people to buy the cartrdiges of color more often.  I'm sure that's not really true.  Can you get it someone please let me know how to print in black and white?

    Thank you

    Daniel

    Have you tried grayscale? I don't know if this is what you need, but should be available from devices/printers, right-click on the J510 and click on Printing Preferences, click on the paper/quality tab, click the advanced option, select the grayscale option, and then press the ok button.

    I would like to know if it works.

  • using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative. * beep *.

    using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative.  * beep *.

    I was able to recreate what you see.   I managed to work around it by installing a different driver that is also supposed to be compatible with the CLJ3600.

    Please consider trying this as a possible solution:

    (1) uninstall the driver CLJ3600 by opening printers and fax machines, driver selection and right-click on it and select Delete.  Once it is removed, right-click on an empty space in the windows printers and faxes and select Server properties.  Click the driver tab, click the CLJ3600 and then click on remove.

    One when you're done, restart, and then install the CLJ3500 driver.  This is a previous version of the driver that has been implemented for the CLJ3600 and is compatible with the CLJ3600.

    After installation, try printing again.

    The output I have indicates it will print is more negative.  Please let me know if you have success.

    One caveat about this solution.  The Color LaserJet 3500 doesn't support duplex.  Of workaround only works for two printing on the package of basic or the Color LaserJet 3600 N.

  • HP ENVY 5644 e-all-in-one Prin: I want to print in black and white

    Hello

    I wanted to print in black and white but still my printer print in color when there is a picture in the paper, it's really annoying because when I go to the properties of the printer I press black and white or black press ink only then when I press on save, I'll be back in the printer properties to find her back to color No matter how many times I put it in black and white it goes back to color. I tried pressing black and white and not return to the printer properties, but it still prints in color. Also, I changed my default settings of the printer in black and white through the control panel and tap Save. When I go into Control Panel, its saved printer properties such as black and white by default, so that's good. But for some reason when theres color of text or an image on the page I want to print, I can not change to print in black and white, keeps coming back to color.

    Please help me!

    Hello @Matthew002, hope you are well!

    Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

    I understand that you are having problems when printing in black and white and also the printer goes "offline".

    Going through your post, this could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same.

    Now try to change the printing preferences:

    • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 5640 right-click and select Printing Preferences.
    • In the pop-up window, click on the 'Advanced' button - check for printing in grayscale option. Make sure it is turned on

    PS: Your printer support mode single cartridge. So if you want to completely stop color printing you can get out the color cartridge and use only black.

    Let me know if this helps. Good luck!

    See you soon

  • 6520 photosmart all-in-one: can't get Photosmart 6520 to print in black and white only reliable

    I'm trying to get the 6520 Photosmart of HP all-in-one to print only in black and white. I followed the instructions in the manual (go to the preferences of the printer by selecting "Black ink" only 'Print in grayscale,' hit 'Apply' and 'Send'.)

    Now, if I do a table in the word processor Open Office and fill the cells with different colors, they print in black and white. Bonus. This is what I want. However ... When I print a page of Open Office spreadsheet (the ultimate goal), there are all the cells, printed in color of life.

    That is what it is? How can I fix?

    Afternoon @MSWS,.

    I can help you with the printing settings in Open Office.

    It seems that this program has its own options that can bypass the default print settings.

    I found this page of support which may help you with the settings. OpenOffice - control print

  • Why can I not print in black and white only?

    Why is the HP Officejet Pro 8600 more unable to print black and white only if the black cartridge is not empty?

    What I mean is that I went into the settings to set the printer to print black and white only but also print text in black only.  Yet, I HAVE to replace the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges, because they are exhausted.  Nothing to do with black printing, whereas a SEPARATE black cartridge is and is always full should cyan, magenta and yellow ink?

    I'm aggravated about how the driver for this printer is designed TO FORCE me to buy cartridges not black when I deliberately put printing be BLACK ONLY.  I'm unable to move forward with my impression.  This is considered to be a show-stopper and is unacceptable as the setting that I've assigned and exhausted cartridges message contradict each other.  If the adjustment is made for print in black and white only including text, then print black and white, because I know that the black ink is still available.

    Take into consideration that printing may take place at any time.  Not being able to use black as my other color (WHICH IS NOT EMPTY AND IS A SEPARATE CARTRIDGE) forces me to stop.  I can't go forward until the store open.  Wal-Mart isn't always an option.   It's lost time.

    The inability to switch to self-supply to meet to use the black cartridge is only a waste of time.

    Call it for what it is, a form of ransom. HP wants me to spend the money on the color cartridges that have nothing to do with black and white printing.   When I am ready to print in color, which should be a time of my choosing.

    Either way, the form, which I am trying to print is black and white only.  No color is on this form.  It is foolish to force printing in color to a black and white document.

    Hello

    Specially protect the print heads printers much NEED other inks even they only print in black. During the warm-up process, printers require all inks so they can stop before we continue. Some printers allow printing (especially those who have the ink tank three colors), but they can print at a speed of snail baby.

    Kind regards.

  • I ONLY NEED TO PRINT IN BLACK AND WHITE

    I was almost out of ink for my all in one printer. I could only replace the cartridge and the Black Yellow now, which is OK because I only need to print in black and white. I've adjusted the page screenshot on print "to print in black ink only" screen and click on 'apply '. But now it always sends a message saying that she does not print unless ALL the cartridges are replaced. I don't need to print in color! What can I do to get the printer to use black ink until I can afforsd to buy the other two color cartridge?

    You should check with the printer manufacturers support site, but many printers will print at all if no have all the ink cartridges.

    Windows cannot override the printer design in this area.

  • Replace the empty ink cartride color to print in black and white on C7280

    Photosmart C7280 printer gets the error message O > c18a0306 and cannot print.  Study found more than clear cyan ink is empty (which in itself is incredible that very rarely colorprint). As I only need bo black and white printing is there a way to bypass this error message so I can continue printing in black & white?

    I don't think so.  The C7280 has permanent print heads which are not replaceable.  To avoid irreversible damage to the print heads, the pritner requires in all colors (and black) ink for printing.

    The here document includes information about using ink in HP (and other manufacturers) inkjet printers.  In the language of this document, the C7280 is an IIC printer.
