Switch from color print to black and white printing under MS Windows OS!


The practical color printing under Windows sometimes needs to be switched to black and white under Windows, here is the quick solution for this task!




Typically, when you print a document with color images or text in black and white on your color printer, your printer also uses color ink to print anything that isn't black or white. If your color ink cartridge is almost empty, or if you only need a black and white document, black and white printing on Windows is the best solution!
