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

Do you think that the fact that you replied to a "dam" eight-year-old post might have something to do with that?

We aren't discussing software that Microsoft "released." We're talking about software--hardware drivers--that's developed and maintained by the hardware manufacturers. Quite simply, you ascribed failure to the wrong source, and no matter what industry you're working in, ascribing failure to the wrong source is a recipe for disaster in QA. In short, you're barking up the wrong tree, and you of all people should know better.
