Only print in black and white despite the color cartridge - is that possible?

In many situations it is sufficient to print a colored motif only in black and white despite the color printer. We will tell you here how you can protect your color cartridge in such a case.

Print black and white despite color cartridge

Of course, you can also print in black and white using a color printer. The corresponding option can be found in the print settings of the respective printer:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel. Then click on "Devices and Printers" or "Show devices and printers".
2. In the "Printer" area, right-click on the printer with which you want to print in black and white. Then select "Print Settings" from the context menu. In many programs, you can also access the print settings if you first click on the print function and then look for a properties button.
3. The display of the print settings varies depending on the printer model and driver, which is why you have to search a little here. The option should be called "Output Color: Black", "Grayscale", "Black and White" or similar. When you have found and selected it, close the window with the OK button.
