How To Make Printer Only Use One Color From the Cartridge?

Several weeks ago I had accidetnally found the settings, and now can not for the life of me find it. I want to make the default settings of the printer to only print in blue, so It only uses blue from the ink and will only print blue stuff.

 

Its a multi colored image, and only want it to print the blue. its not just text i can change to blue. 

 

Any ideas, I checked the printer properties and preferences, cant find it.

 

I have a MG3120 and windows 8

Hello.

 

Please try the following steps to adjust the color settings:

 

1. Close all programs that are open.

2. Click Start and open the Control Panel.

3. Open Printers or Devices and Printers.

4. Right-click the MG3100 and choose Printing Preferences.

5. In the Main tab, change the Color/Intensity to Manual.  Then click Set.

 

Once there, you can adjust the color settings as desired.
