Can you choose to print in B&W and then switch when you want to print color or does it ALWAYS chose to print in color if the document has color?

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.

You should be able to choose black and white from the print options on your computer (the same place you choose how many copies you need, etc). You can do the same for color.

I can select the print options from my computer when I am printing a document. One of the options is to print the document in mono, or black and white. It seems to always default to color, but it only takes a moment to change.

You can print any color you want. You can print all the labels in ONE COLOR or a DIFFERENT COLOR for each folder. The choice is yours.

Yes. Under properties is a box for grayscale printing. This should render color documents in grayscale. Obviously if the document is not in color the printer prints black and white. It does have multiple settings. Be sure to do test prints prior to any large job.

Go into Devices and Printers, right click on your printer and then click on "Printing Preferences". There is a tab entitled "Features" and under Color Options click the "print in greyscale". You should also be given an option to choose color, B&W;, or greyscale when you print and the prompt comes up asking how many copies you want. If you go into properties, you should be able to select the color or B&W; choice then as well.

Margaret, the Lexmark X9575 can be used in B & W only or full color. Beyond that, I would say this printer has been an excellent buying choice in that it is fairly easy on ink and was reasonably priced to purchase. Quality is not super on photo printing, but that isn't why I bought it.

I'm not sure you can do it from the printer, but if I wanted a BW print from a color page, I'd open the document in an image editor, such as Photoshop, and make it an all BW document. Good luck.

I printed over 100 color 8X10 brochures yesterday without changing ink cartridges ...... are you printing ONLY color photos? I would go into your printing preferences menu and see how your printer is set. You can access that menu by hitting the print button and then preferences. Mine is set to text and the photos are amazing. You can always use a different setting when you need higher quality photos.

Without getting too technical... This printer has two separate modes. Black on White: Black ink on white paper and CYMK Color: CYMK stands for the four colors that are used to print in color and they are (C)yan, (Y)ellow, (M)agenta and blac(K). When you print in color mode only the CYMK inks are used and when you print in B&W just the regular black cartridge is used. So if you print a lot of black only documents the regular black cartridge will run out of ink first. Hope this helps. Pete

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.

Obvious that it does NOT print other than black. The question should have been does it SCAN a color document. I understand that it does. Of course it will print it in black, but I understand that it will save the scanned document in color (JPG, BMP, etc.) to a chosen folder in your computer.

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.

Hello, yes, the printer can print both in color and in black and white. Hope this helps. Thanks

Many printers today come with both a color and black ink cartridge. A printer will only print black ink if there is the only cartridge is the black ink cartridge, the color cartridge has run out of ink, or you select the print option to print either in black and white or grayscale.

You can set to print black and white only and it does only use black and white toner, but you have to have color cartridges in the machine for it to work. I don't know if it will keep printing black if out of color toner--I seem to remember that most HP don't allow this. Most laser printers when they do cleaning cycles will use up a bit of color ink no matter what. It's not terribly much, but it can eat away at cartridges over time. They do cleaning cycles when turned on and when waking up. The black toner is also more spendy compared to a black and white only only. We have this for color stuff and a HP N521DN which we use for black and white. The black and white only is twice as fast and the black ink is about 1/3 more economical.

Are you talking about through Microsoft word? There's a setting you can change through Microsoft word, I wouldn't know about he printer. Also, I can never print black and white from the web, unless I use the system dialogue and set to black ink only(every time)

It is a color priter, but if you set your computer settings to black and white or grayscale it will print that way.

Otherwise it will try to mix the colors to produce black. I am not sure how long it will allow this before requiring you to replace the color cartridges though, because it still requires enough color ink to perform the print head cleaning operations.
