How to do black and white printing in Mac Os X Lion

**Man!nox** · 22-10-2011

This is for a fresh Lion install, not an upgrading from Snow Leopard. There are no longer any color sync profiles for printing in Lion, which removes any competence for printing in a gray profile. How do I print in black and white in Lion without having to get any PDF printing involved?

What printer are you using? Are there any bcm and white settings in the PDEs?

I don't have the PPD for the 3228C, nevertheless looking at the 3224C PS, there is a PDE called Printer Features, and, in that PDE's "General 1" feature set, there is Color Mode menu that contains setting for Color and Black and White.
