Mac user needs to set the Canon PIXMA MG5320 to print only in B/W

I would like to be able to toggle between color and b/w printing on my Canon PIXMA MG5320, but I cannot find the settings that control color printing.

I'm using a Mac running OSX10.6.8

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi mbhnyc!

If you follow the below instructions I have provided, then your printer will print in only black.

Note: Image quality will be sacrificed when printing photographs and graphics.

Open the Print dialog box by clicking File and selecting 'Print' from inside the application being printed from.
Select the 'Quality & Media' settings from the pop-up menu.
Select 'Plain Paper' as the Media Type.

Note: If you are using a media type other than plain paper, the print quality will be unpredictable.
Select the box for 'Grayscale Printing'.
Select 'Printing a composite document' from the Print Mode
Click 'Print' to save the changes.

Note: Even with these settings, some color ink will still be used for print head maintenance.

I hope this helps you.
