Default Print to Black & White

[Ec80134]

We are running Windows 7 on a Dell Latitude Notebook. We are trying to set the printer to default to always print in black & white. We have been unsucessful. Even trying to change to black & white within a particular word document still prints in color. Help!

What model printer are you using? There should be an option to print in monochrome (B&W) in the printer preferences.

This may, or may not, work.... My printer insists on having both cartridges in place (and not empty) to print anything, even b&w.

There must be something in printer properties (right click on the printer icon) which sets defaults. Without knowing what kind of printer you have, it's impossible to be more specific.

I'm not sure how you expect us to answer this without telling us the printer type/model, or if it is a local or network printer. Give us the necessary details, and then we can go from there.
