so i have a bigger problem. Printing was easy but how do you make the printing to ALWAYS default to black and white without having to go through this each and every time I want to print from the web, or email etc. its not defaulting like it does on a PC. help please!!!
btw for those of you using printers with 2/3 black ink cartridges... under grayscale select "black ink only" that will save you on using photo black unnecessarily.
This video is a great help but there's one more thing to add. If you want to make black & white printing the default, then follow the procedure described in the video, but *before* you press Print, go to the Presets pull down menu in the same print dialog window, and select Save As, and you can save this setting as Black & White or something equally clever. Next time you print, your saved Black & White setting is active. BH dude, thanks and I suggest you add this at the end of your video.
Thank you, Thank you!! I didn't have the same box come up, but I knew to look for the printer/quality bar. I had no idea had to get there & you showed me the way!
Actually I think the options you get might be decided by the printer you choose in the top "Printer" box.. I mean it makes sense that this is related to the drivers you load when you buy your printer.. So because I don't have a HP like you I get different options..
Finally after two years.... This is awesome Thanks!

Funny, how Macs are supposed to be all user-friendly, yet people have to refer to how-to youtube videos to print in black and white. =P

If you don't have the option that says paper type/quality, choose quality & media instead. the grayscale option is at the bottom.

Hi.. is this Snow Leopard? I'm on Leopard and I can't see an option called paper type/quality..
I've got a paper handling and a Quality & Media option, but neither have the disclosure triangle named Color that you show..
