printing in black and white (1 Viewer)

[iambored]

i have a printer which has the colour, black and white all in at the same time. yet sometimes i have a coloured page which i only want to print in black and white. does anyone know if there is anyway i can do that?

In most programs where you can print, you can click on a "Properties" button which will let you change properties for your printer, and mostly theres settings including what to print in: B&W, greyscale, colour, photo, etc.

"Draft" settings are always good for printing things that can look a little crappy, they save lots of ink ...

or do u mean 2UP, 4UP etc...

2UP is printing 2 A4 pages onto 1 A4 page
the size is reduced so it fits both pages on one side.

I thought I was saving money by having 3 cartridges...black, colours & photo ink...alas the cartridges are 80+ bucks a pop

You can try 'no frills' replacements, which are only about $20-$30 for the replacement cartridge, or around $10 with just the ink that you replace into the cartridge by yourself.
