Of course, you can print with a color printer, just black-and-white. The appropriate Option is found in the printer settings of each printer:
- Open the Windows control panel. Then click on "devices and printers" or "devices and printers".
- In the area "printers", right click on the printer you want to print in black-and-white. From the context menu, then select "printing preferences". In many programs, you can reach the printer settings also, if you click on the Print function, and then after a properties Button.
- The display of the print settings will vary depending on the printer model and driver, which is why you need to look at this point a little. The Option should be "output color: Black", "grayscale", "black-and-white," or something similar. If you have found and selected, close the window with the OK Button.
