I don’t usually offer tech support on my blog, but since this advice is nowhere to be found online and/or through Apple’s employees, I’m offering it here for those who use the latest operating system for mac computers.
Obviously to print (from Safari for example), go to File > Print. To the furthest right of ‘Printer’, enable the drop-down menu features. Immediately below ‘Orientation’ and ‘Scale’, select ‘Paper Type/Quality’.
Since when does ‘Paper Type’ and/or ‘Quality’ have anything to do with choosing to print in black and white versus color?! (I already informed Apple of their need to add in the word ‘ink’ here.)
For paper, under the color option, select ‘grayscale’. You can choose the highest quality, if you also deselect the ‘plain paper’ default choice. For color options, chose ‘High Quality’ rather than ‘Black Print Cartridge Only’.
If you rarely print using color, create a preset called ‘Black & White’ by using the option right under ‘Printer’.
A lot of people think that mac computers no longer provide the option to print in black and white only. It’s still there, but help for knowing where apparently isn’t.
