How to get my photosmart 7525 to print in black and white on a pc
How can I get the print option on my pc that allows me to choose the color or black and white in Windows?
Hi ep43,.
Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you want the options to change the color printing in black and white on your HP Photosmart 7525. I would like you to follow the steps below on your computer:
1. go to your Start Menu
2. Select devices & Printers
3. right click on your PS 7525 and select Printing Preferences
4. click on Advanced Options
5. in the present case under characteristics of the printer, you will have the option to print in grayscale, black ink only or Off (which would by default for color printing)
I hope this helps!
Thank you

I'm using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. A fax sent to me is loaded into a folder open on my desktop. The fax image is white on black al, though the original was black on white paper. It prints white on black background. How to reverse the image to black on white?
Ok. Well I don't believe that you are able to reverse the colors directly on the printer. Once the image has been saved using this color format, you will need to reverse the image on the computer first, then the corrected file printer.
You can invert the colors using the preview. Once you open the image in preview if you select "Tools" then "Color Adjust". Here you will be presented with slidered for black and white levels. To "reverse" all colors, you need to do is the slider level black all the way to the right, then drag the white slider completely to the left.
Let me know if it works for you!

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

All-in-one HP Deskjet 2540: How do I set the default to print in black and white only
The manual says this, but it applies to a PC and I have a Mac:
"If you want to print a black and white document using a black ink only, click on the Advanced button. Printing from the drop in grayscale, select black ink only, and then click OK. »
Someone knows how to set the printer to print only black & white for a Mac?
As an accompaniment, there are security settings that must be configured to reduce the risk of access remotely for the printing device?
Thank you

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.
- If present, disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer.
- Go to control panel of configuration-programs and feature - select the HP Envy printer entries and uninstall them.
- Restart your computer.
- Now, click http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/en5640/Basic_Webpack_x64-40.2.1073-EN5640_Basicx64_Webpack.exe and install the printer drivers.
- If you are prompted, connect the USB cable.
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

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.

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!

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.

Cannot print just black and white - cannot print all black when a low cartridge
I had this 6700 Officejet just long enough the warranty has expired. Go figure. I have 2 problems.
1. from my PC, it will print not just black and white, even if I chose "printing black and white only. I have to go through the whole syetem of dialogue ect ect, which is delayed. It prints perfectly just black and white of my portable Macbok.
2. it won't let me print a document all in black and white, because I have a low color cartridge. Whey do I have to have color cartridges to print just a black and white document. Very annoying and frustrating. I'm almost ready to use as target.
Hi fpsolutionsllc,
Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand your frustration and want to enlighten us and also bring some answers to your questions about the ink on your HP OfficeJet 6700 systems.
1. you are able to go to your printer properties and change your settings for printing in black and white only, without having to change it whenever you want to print something. See the steps listed below:
* Go to your devices and printers
* Right-click on your 6700 and select Print Options
* Select your desired default and press Ok
2. you cannot print without all cartridges installed because even if printing black and white printer will still use the ink contained in the cartridges of color for maintenance tasks. It takes little ink from all cartridges in the service of the print head and avoid any clogging. To get a better understanding of take a look here: use of inkjet printers ink.
I've found this useful information here: a 'ink alert' or "Low on ink" Message appears on the computer or the printer control panel
Thank you
