On an hp printer how do you set it so it can print in black and white?

When you go to "file" "print" and it brings up a menu then select "advanced" and check the box that says "grayscale."  Then "apply."  (for just one time you don't have to hit "apply.")\n\nHope that helps.

This sounds as if you have connected the printer, but have not loaded the drivers.  Or, you have replaced your printer and have not set it as the default printer.  \n\nTry going to your application's printer set up.  You should have the option to select the default printer as your new one.\n\nI hope this helps.

what make and model of printer do you have ? If it is a hp then there should be some extra software that came with it that should let you configure how it prints off the pages etc.

Printer drivers, when installed or re-installed, all have "default" properties set.  In order for you to change the properties, go to Start->Control Panel-> then click on Printers and Faxes.\n\nFind your printer in the list of printers available.  Your defualt printer is the one with a check mark on it.  \n\nRight click on the printer and either go to Printer Preferences or Printer Properties.  Under these two sections, you can change they way things print out.  Examples include quality, paper tray choice, and seperator pages, etc... Printer Preferences has and Advanced section also.  Change these preferences the way you would like then "Apply" these new settings.  If you are unsure of the choices, simply click the "?" in the menu bar and click on the option.  You'll get a brief description of what that option will do.\n\nHope this helps!

Actually, I believe you would need to change the color of the text you are trying to print.

Just go on HP website, and they will have all the drivers and utilities you need, for your printer.

Try the "Print as Image" option in the print dialog.  It's slower than the default, but it might work for you.\n\nAlso, make sure you have the latest drivers for your printer and operating system.

There has been a minor issue with a few of the K550 printers. Some customers, even when they purchase a new black cartridge, are no longer able to print black. This is due to the printhead and cannot be fixed by purchasing new cartridges.\n\nGo to HP's website and e-mail them the trouble you are having and what you have done to try to fix it. They have an one-hour e-mail response team trained to help with questions such as this. You also have the option of calling their toll-free number which is listed on their website. And last of all, if you wish, they have free online chat with a tech.\n\nThere is someway to reset the printer to allow it to print in black. HP will walk you through this. If it doesn't work, they will likely send you a repair kit. Your printer is probably still under warranty, so this shouldn't cost you anything. Hope everything works out!

Wow!  Weird!  Open up Page Setup in the File Menu, and go to the "Paper" tab.  Press the button for "Print Options ..." near the bottom.  There's a checkbox for "Background colors and images" about halfway down on the right.\n\nThis would be in Word 2003.  Your mileage may differ.

When printing, in the print dialog, select to print the odd pages by specifying them, then flip the pages back into the printer and then do the same for the even pages. If you have a printer that supports double sided printing such as the HP 6127, then the printer options, select double sided printing.

This may sound silly, but be sure that the text color in Word is set to black.  Lighter text colors can appear as white when printing, depending on your printer settings.
