Gmail print black only

Post by mipendance »

Hi -

Trying to figure out how to print an email in black only. Do not want color. Is there a setting for this?

Thank you much.

I would think that's a setting on your printer. It is on my HP.

(I admit I've never printed email from my Gmail or Yahoo accounts.)

I don't think Gmail has an option for this, but your printer may have an option to print in black-and-white or grayscale - click Properties... in the Print dialog.
Best wishes,
Hans

Here's where it is on my HP 6980. Others I'm sure vary all over the ball park.

Hi Guys -

Yes, tried that but when we went to print a Gmail, it printed black and color, that's why we thought there might be a Gmail setting somewhere.
