Will printer print in black&white? Regular text or letters?

It has a B&W; option that you can use from the computer when you go to print something, and it does a good job of converting to grey scale.

Yes, it has support for black and white printing, and prints documents with plain text extremely fast. It uses very little ink for this kind of work. This is pretty similar to other printers that have dedicated blank ink tanks.

It has two buttons right on top. One for black, one for color. I scan old photos and reprint them in black and white. I also scan documents and make copies. I really like the way it operates with or without a computer.

If you are asking will the printer work without a color cartridge in place in the printer to print B&W; the answer is no. The printer has to detect both ink cartridges to work. However, the printer comes with both Black and color ink cartridges and when the color runs out the printer will still print in B&W; as long as you leave the empty cartridge in place (until the black ink runs out).

From the printer command box, there is an option, after the preview, to print in black instead of color. From pc set your print under from preferences > advanced > set print to grayscale = yes.

If you are out of black ink the printer won't be able to print in black and white. The color cartridge only has colored ink. It is very likely that the two cartridges will not run out at the same time. In the case you describe I believe you would have to buy a new black cartridge to resume printing in black and white.

Normally you don't set the *printer* to print black&white; only. Instead you select the black&white; printing option on the print menu of whatever application (IE browser, Chrome browser, Acrobat (pdf) Reader, etc.) you are using. You have to do this each time you print a document.

Ha! Mine prints black, but colors are sketchy at best. These printers are fatally flawed and HP views them as disposable. I had to pony up for another printer over a year ago.

Color and black and white are two separate cartridges. If you're not printing in color, then the color won't empty.

Black and white only. But it turns out that is great for 90% of what I print so I use it as my default printer and have a color inkjet multifunction for when needed. Saves a lot on ink as the toner cartridge lasts for thousands of prints.

Set it to print to Black and White print as a default. It is probable pulling from all the colors. If you are printing web pages, then they come out gray when all the colors are used.

Of course it does. You just have to set it to "black" only in the printer driver software.Otherwise how will it know it's only text?

It does. The main purpose of this printer is to print photographs, either color or black and white. But it can print anything you ask it to do, including true black text.

Means that the printer will only use black to print. So it is only a black and white printer.

I believe in your print settings you can tell it to print in B&W;, but default will print however the document is set up. when you are copying you can choose B&W; or color.

I do not know if it has a black and white setting if I want black and white I just print in Black and White.

If you do mean can it print with only a black cartridge only, the answer is no. When it prints grayscale it actually uses some colored ink as well. It's annoying because when a color cartridge has a "replace" status you will no longer be able to print in B&W; until you replace that cartridge.

are you asking if the iP4300 can print in black & white, surely you're not asking that, maybe I have missed the full question, the iP4300 is a brilliant printer, able to print in Black & white, direct onto cd & dvd discs, automatic duplex, borderless, oh the list goes on, and you can now buy the CISS system which saves 's or $$$$$'s, whereever you reside
