How can I just print a document in black and white

I have an iMac and sometimes just want to print in black and white even if their may be some elements of the page color. Cannot find how to do this. Any help?

Hi Clivehp2575,

I understand that you are wanting to print with just your black ink cartridge. I can certainly help you with this I just need a little more information from you.

What printer HP do you have?

What version of Mac is on your computer? (click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner, then click on about this Mac for this information)

How the printer is connected to the Mac?

Once I have this information, I should be able to help!

  • Printing a document in black and white

    Hi all

    I was wondering, is there anything we can do such that the PDF I'm generation can be printed in black and white, even if the model is in color? Our local printer has a problem greyscaling exit, so we need 2 versions of the document, and I do not want to redraw all of black and white...

    This time, we use a batch process (gendaw32, genptw32) for Windows and Linux (gendata, genprint) using Documaker Studio 12.3.

    Thank you!

  • HP8600 how to change the default to print/fax in color black and white - on a Mac OS 10.9

    I use MS 7 and have the same problem.  Older printers enabled you to change the color and the paper size on the fly.   I love b & w most of the time, but sometimes want to color.  Now, I can not find how to switch between.  Cannot HP fix the software to include simple things like the paper of the color/size changes (and also the envelope D * on the 8600 is absolutely ridiculous) as a loyal user of HP in the past, I won't buy another HP unless it changes!  These developers do not use the printer on a daily basis or consult a person who?

  • Photosmart HP 6520 - print in color, not black and white

    I have had this printer for some time and configure options so that it used only the black cartridge unless I put it specifically to do otherwise when I wanted to color.  It worked well and I could switch between black and white and color very easily.  A few weeks ago, the printer started to ignore the options I would set and printed in color.  I double checked the parameters, and the printer is always set up for black and white, but now it completely ignores and still print in color.

    I tried the settings at the time of printing, and that indicates that the image in black and white, it still prints in color.

    I haven't added any software or made any changes to my pc.

    Can someone help me with this, please?

    Hi Lulu and thank you for the reply!

    I suggest to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.  Once you have run the tool successfully, try again the configuration in black and white.

    Please let me know the results.

  • How to remove the unwanted parts of drawing black and white line

    I scanned in a flower art simple black and white lines.  I would like to remove some of the petals in Photoshop.  How can I do?

    Thank youFlower003.jpg

    I would like to remove the petals from the background.

    1 method: with the select magic wand the white bg, select-> invert the selection and create a layer mask.

    The layer mask is a monochrome picture, transparent black, white is opaque and anything in between is more or less transparent.

    You can now select the layer mask, use the brush and black paint, where you want to have something white, removed where you want to have something added. It is non-destructive and works very well on your photo.

    You can use shift click to 'draw' the small lines to attach to the top. According to the clarification, it will take more or less time. As I said are non-destructive.

    Second method: you use the pen to draw the lines around your flower vectors. With little exercise, you'll very quickly and you can always adjust the curvature of your curve, by pulling on the handles of the curve. Here you can see how it works: drawing with the pen in Photoshop tools .

    When done with the pen tool, you can add the vector line as a vector mask. You can even refine your mask after finishing. I suggest, since a mask of course work at a refined mask.

    The flower should not be on a layer, a background layer. Basemap layers have no transparency. The two methods are non-destructive, so you can return to the original image or parts of it, whenever you want.

  • How to determine the real colors in a black and white photo?

    That's where the art comes into play when they colorize old movies.

    A lady wearing a pretty dress: is it greeen or purple?  It seems gray.

    A baby comes home from the new baby clothes cute hospital: pink or blue?  They have light gray air.

    It's a nice tie school the guys to wear: use the colors wrong on the bands, and it is in a different school.  But they are nothing more than various shades of gray.

    If there is one thing missing in a B & W photograph, every vestige of the color information.   All you have is gray.   You may need TO determine the real colors, but without a color photo to use as a reference image, you are out of luck.

  • How to reduce noise when there is only black and white?

    Hi all

    Total noob here, I looked everywhere without success (or I did not know the exact term), but how do you do that?

    Basically, I'm trying to just extract lines and texts out of it, and the filtering and the exhibition did nothing for me.

    As you can see below, the 'gray' color was made by points that are completely black. Is it possible to do?

    So so so thanks in advance!

    eg.png

    You can try the filter > noise > antiparasitics, then move to curves and drag the end of the highest point of the scale, a tad to deliver pure a pure white background.

  • 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

  • black and white printing with a mac

    I've recently upgraded from a Dell Windows PC to an iMac with OS 10.9. I use my old HP 6500e 710 a Officejet All in One.

    In general, I print most of my documents in black and white that was available on version Windows 7 driver.

    On the iMac OS 10.9 driver version, I can print only in black and white in "draft" mode

    Based on another ad I saw on this forum, the drop-down list for a different HP printer (I think than 8300) had the function Select B & W print in any quality. In addition, she had 'gray levels' selectable.

    I seems that my version of the pilot V2.4.0 - 2 does not have the full options compliment. HP needs to update this driver OS 10.9.

    Can anyone HELP!

    happytohelp01,

    I got an answer from HP Support pointing me driver for Apple on the support site software Apple; HP v.2.16.1 for OS X printer drivers.

    This is to "'http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907 '. "   Once I loaded it, I was given the following instructions:

     

    Step 3: Change the print settings

    1 open the document you want to print

    2. click on file , then print

    3. make sure that the correct printer name is selected.

    4. we'll find the orientation option, there are menu drop-down. Select the Type of paper/quality (see the attached screenshot)

    5. click on Color Options.

    6. Select the Grayscale under color

    7. click on print.

    You can create a preset using the procedure below so that you don't have to change the settings every time that you print.

    1. click on menu presets

    2. click on create new preset

    3. assign a predefined name

    4 confirm to create the preset.

    Next time, you can select the predefined name for the settings that you have made.

    This allowed me to print in B & W normal quality.

     

  • JPG of Windows Photo Gallery will not be printed in black and white / grayscale, than by the color.

    All of a sudden, for some reason unknown to me, my mon imprimante printer does not print images JPG from Windows Photo Gallery black and white or grayscale. No matter if I turn it on to or black and white color option / shades of gray option, it only prints in color. If I remove the color of my printer ink cartridge and leave the black alone to, and order the printer to print in black, the printer behaves as if it was printing but the page comes out blank.

    If I try to print, for example Word documents in black and white / shades of gray, they come out, as requested.

    Help, please! Thank you.

    Hi Ulap,

    A. from when what happens?

    B. you are able to print the other black and white file formats?

    First of all, check if you are able to print black and white photo viewer.

    Then, run an auditor of system files (sfc scan) on your computer in order to replace the files corrupted on your computer.

    1. click on the Start button

    2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

    3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

    4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

    5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

    7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

    8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

    9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

    10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check if the problem persists.
