Print Black and White on an HP Printer

To force your HP printer to use only black ink, you need to change its properties. Change the settings to "grayscale". Go for the "black ink only" or "black and white" option. You will be able to print in black or black-and-white ink only. Do not change the empty ink cartridge of your printer. Change the settings of the HP printer without replacing the empty ink cartridges.

Before changing the settings, have proper knowledge about the HP printer model you are using. After changing the settings to the "grayscale" option you will be provided with high-quality black and white printouts. 

How Do I Print in Black Color?

In case there is only a single print job, then change the settings to print in black colour only. The steps may vary because of the operating system and printer. You need to keep one thing in mind, you need to install a full-feature printer on your computer system to make changes in the print settings.

These are the Steps That You Have to Follow to Print in Black and White on an HP Printer:

Step 1: First of all, click on print on your software application.

Step 2: Choose your printer from the available printers list.

Step 3: Select the option that opens up the dialogue box of printer properties to print black and white on HP printer. Based on the software application, this button can be called as preferences, printer, printer properties, setup, printer, options, and properties.

Step 4: Go to the window of properties and then go to the features or papers or quality tab based on your software.

  • If you wish to print the document using black ink only, then you need to make changes in the settings depending on what is being shown on the screen.
  • Go to advanced and then select print in Grayscale and after that select black ink.
  • After that to print black and white on the HP printer, select the button of black and white.

Note: If you wish to print with low-quality ink, then you must choose the draft quality setting in case it is available.

  • If you want to print high-quality black-and-white photos and documents, then you must make changes in the settings based on what is being shown on the screen.
  • To print black and white on an HP printer, go to advanced and then select high-quality Grayscale or print in Grayscale. The printer uses a mixture of coloured and black ink to create a high-quality printout.
  • Last, click on OK and then start the print job.

Print in Black Colour for All Print Jobs

If you don’t wanna make any changes in the print settings, every single time you take a printout. Switch to default settings to create a printout with grayscale or black ink for printing every single time. The steps may differ from one printer model to another.

Step 1: To print black and white on an HP printer, select devices and printers on your computer system.

Step 2: Select the printer option and then right click on it and then select the features or quality tab based on your software.

The rest of the steps are the same as above.

So, these are some of the steps that you need to follow to print black and white on an HP printer.
