In your print dialogue you should have an option to print "greyscale". That
will use the black cartridge vs. the colour one.
PS We just got the Canon i550 for $240 (after tax & 1 year $20 FutureSlop
extension warrantee... normally I avoid the extension warrantees since
they're not worth it, but for a mechanical device it might just prove to be
worthwhile). It's an inkjet but uses 4 different ink cartridges. I hope that
in the long run this means cost savings ($20/cartridge, 27 mL for black, 13
mL for each of CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow)), compared to a HP or (shudder)
Lexmark (how they stay in business I do not understand) where your colour
cartridge comes as an all-in-one deal.
PSS Has anyone had laser printer experiences recently? I'm looking to
convince my supervisor to get a laser for the lab (since, right now we're
using a HP LaserJet IIc (that can only work off a parallel port), or an
Apple LaserWriter IIg (that isn't grabbing paper too well, and toner
cartridge is just about empty).
I'm thinking of trying for the HP LaserJet 1200n ($850 institutional
purchase). Any experiences with it? (There's a networkable Brother for less,
but it's received some pretty mediocre reviews and I've seen the Brother
1870n suffer from some pretty nasty problems (brand new machine smearing
prints, going off-line, not setting up properly, having to go in for
service)... though, it does automatically print double-sided very nicely.
L8r, Eric.
