Sometimes I don't feel like wasting the color ink. I am VERY new to the computer so PLEASE be VERY specific. Thank you so much for your help.

When I click on "file" I see no mention of the words "grayscale" or "advanced setting." AARRGGG!!!

Well, when you open the document you want to print, go to File >> Print. In the window that will open you will see a button "properties", click it, and then pick a "color" tab. There you will see an option "print in grayscale" (you will have to check it). Click ok and voila!

Assuming you have Windows XP, take the following steps...
1. Click My Computer
2. Click Control Panel over on the left side
3. Click on Printers and Faxes
4. Right-Click the printer you are referring to and then click Printing Preferences
5. From here, it depends on your Printer. There may be an advanced button where you can select Black Ink Only.

Copy and paste the documents you are printing into an email composition or Word and change the colors.
Typically you go through more black ink than color, unless you're printing a lot of pictures.

Set the printer's properties to only print grayscale.
Also, in the software you're printing from you can select grayscale in the advance print menu.

I have my colour printer installed twice - one has COLOUR in the title and the other MONO, in the properties of the one labelled mono I have the grey scale (or B&W) option ticked.
Now when I print I simply select the printer marked COLOUR for pictures etc or the one labelled MONO for text documents.
You can actually do this as many times as you like, so I have one labelleb 6 x 4 photo, and this setting is configured for photo quality 6 x 4, no messing and it works a treat.

When the print box comes onto your screen, choose printer properties. There you can tell it to print black/white, grayscale, or full color.

if your printer printing in black and white maybe your printer just work in black and white but your printer is a color printer maybe your color cartridge has been ran out and you must buy another and replaced whit this and maybe properties of your printer changed to black and white print that you must try to find this attribute at the printer properties.
good luck

here might artwork: get rid of each and every of the ink factors. get rid of the printhead and soak it for type of 5 minutes in 0.5" of particularly heat water. gently blot the printhead on a mild damp paper towel to get rid of the surplus water, then replace interior the printer and then reinstall the ink factors.
