Re: How do I reset a HP Officejet 4500 to only print in black on a Mac OS

Hello FRLAoffice,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

I think I can help answer your question regarding printing black only with the Officejet 4500 on Mac OS X. When you have the cable connected it uses a different driver and presets, this would explain why when you connect wireless you do not have the options.

This HP document: Mac OS X: Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only Option will walk you through creating a black only preset to select for the wireless connection.

I hope this has helped,
