Hi..
Yes you can I had the same issue
When you get the paper you want to print on your laptop and the message pop out to ask you how many copies to print there is an option also to use colour and black
Just untick the colour one and it will print just black.

Does that option still use color ink?  That's the issue.  I print in greyscale and it turns out that that still uses color ink cartridges.

Hi, I don't know what happened, I have same printer and a Mac OS 10.13.3. I used to get that box to print B&W, but its gone. I can't figure out how to get it back. Thanks for any info.

Hey,

Is there a way to override the function that if you print using duplex it prints in colour? Doesn't make sense to me that if you want print on both sides of the paper you have to use colour ink, thats really counterintuative .

Thanks

Not sure this is correct. Just done a long print run on my MG7751... set in grayscale mode... printing continuously for about 500 pages... and the colored cartridges have emptied. And when they do, if you click continue, the printing gets very pale even though the black cartridge is full

Yes, grayscale printing uses your color ink and no way round it that I can see.

Thanks, My issue seemed to correct itself. In my printer box, drop down menu for printer select there were somehow 2 printers there, both with the same name, but when I switched to the other setting the B&W box came back. Works great, when selected everything, text and images print in B&W with good quality, not in greyscale.
