How do I change my printer default setting from color to grayscale on a permanent basis. Since I mostly print in greyscale, I want this as the default and then can change manually, as needed, when I want to print in color. Thanks

2011-09-08T12:11:12+00:00 For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 (others should be similar):
Go to Start/Control Panel/Devices and Printers.
Right click on your printer (hp 3200) and select Printer Properties.
Select the Advanced tag and click on the Printing Defaults button at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the “Color” tab and check the box that says “Print Grayscale”.
If you want Black Only (and not gray), you can click on that.
