Default printing to Black only - Solved

[michellembrodeur]

I have an HP printer C3180. Great printer.
But when I set the HPLip -> Print Settings -> Quality to default to B&W 600dpi only everything still prints in colour. If it has colour.

How do I get the printer to always print in B&W without telling it that every time?

Thanks all

Solved: After you set it up in the HP Toolbox, you have to reboot. Then it works.

Re: Default printing to Black only

How's your HP printer set up, when it used?
Would check, if I was you?
Is it 'highlighted' as PDF?
Or is your HP printer set as the "Default Printer"?
If you can answer all 4 questions, then, you find out 'where' yours is going wrong.
I use a HP PSC printer, myself, and as a 'newbiee' i certainly had no problem 'setting up mine.
Under 'PDF', when I did my first "Print Job".....HP printer took it's time printing. Yeah, in Black, only.
So, I would suggest you do a better look into the set-up...of yours.
