How print black and white? I have a Mac (OS 10.7.5) connected by a cable to the printer

And me! How the heck do you get it to default to B&W using El Capitan O/S on a MAC?

Hello.

Using the grayscale setting will allow you to print color items in black and white.  Please perform the following to create a Grayscale preset:

1.  Open the Applications folder.

2.  Open the Textedit program.  When the program is open, a small white window will appear.

3.  Click File at the top left corner and choose Print.

4.  In the Print dialog screen, look for the third dropdown menu, labeled as 'Textedit'.

5.  Expand this Menu and choose 'Quality and Media'.

6.  In the Quality and Media menu, check the box labeled 'Grayscale'.

7.  Next, look up for the second dropdown menu, labeled 'Presets' or 'Standard'.

8.  Expand this menu and choose 'Save As'.

9.  Type in 'Grayscale' or 'Black and White', then click OK.

Once this has been done, ensure that the new preset is selected before printing. Simply change the preset back to 'Standard' for color printing.

I found a solution on Youtube tat worked perfectly for El Capitan O/S - open a Safari browser window, choose Print and in the drop down box that has "Safari" showing, clck on arrow key and it will allow you to change settins. Then save them as e.g. B&W
