Hi!

I realized that my HP DJ 990cxi uses color ink (HP seems to use blue for
better contrasts) even when I select greyscale in the printer dialogue. How
can I achive that my printer really uses just the black ink in greyscale???

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's right. To be more specific (I use a different Deskjet, but
it's probably the same driver)

Under "Paper" in the Papertype/Quality option there is a choice of
Colorsmart or Greyscale. There is also a tab for Color options, which
has a black only setting. One needs to set both to use just black ink in
greyscale.

i got caught by this the first few times I used this driver, because the
settings were in a different place in an earlier driver.
