How to print with Black only PGBK Cartridge on PIXMA TS8320 and Mac OS?

Hello

I am getting very frustrated with my Pixma TS8320. It is connected to a MacBook. I would like to print in Black Only using a PGBK cartridge and can't seem to make it happen. Always seems to draw from my half emptied collared cartridges instead. I tried the plain paper setting with grayscale to no avail.

Is there a way to access a Black Only setting with Mac?

Thank you

Hi MG83,

Canon does not provide a printer driver for the PIXMA TS8320 for use with the Mac operating system.

The PIXMA TS8320 uses Airprint, which is the macOS's built in printing system.

The option of "Black Only" or "Black & White" would be provided by the application you are printing from. If that option is not available, that application does not support that type of printing.

Thank you Patrick for taking the time to help! I bought a new black and white printer.
