PIXMA MX922 How Do I Turn Off Color Ink?

[ryevick]

I have the MX922 and it is using up color ink fast even with the preferences set to grayscale printing. How do I disable use of color ink and monitoring? I'm sick and tired of having to buy color ink cartridges when I am only printing black text documents!

Plain paper has nothing to do with the ink!

I read what other people had to say. PLAIN PAPER has nothing to do with the ink. Holding down buttons doesn't either. Other crazy stuff doesn't work either. See below.

I have a Pixma TS8050. I do not have the "Print With" dropdown menu (your no.4) but instead I have an option that says: "Disable the color profile setting of the application software." I ticked the box alongside that and, wonder of wonders, it solved the problem. The page that previously printed with lots of text in red now prints in black only.
