How can you set the color of a print from Word?

Usually, printers contain cartridges through which we will obtain the ink to print various documents, normally one has color ink and the other in black, or is the case of printers that have continuous ink so that it lasts longer .

So, if you are going to print in black and white, you have to select that option, in the same way you do it if you are going to print a color document, to configure this you must carry out the following. Before that, remember that you can also print pages without comments by Word .

Print in black and white

For this, what you will do is change the ‘Printer properties’, you must click on the file option that is located in the upper left part, then you must choose the ‘Print’ option, then a tab will open where you must Click on ‘Printer Properties’ .

There, a tab will open again in which, according to your printer, various options will appear, among them click on advanced options and then on printer features, in this way you will be able to see the option ‘Print in grayscale’, select only black ink to activate this option .

Make color prints

If instead of printing in black and white what you want is to do it in color, you just have to change the ‘Printer properties’ again, click on file again , and click on print, and then on printer properties . It works to print business cards that you have previously created.

Go into advanced options and in grayscale, deactivate the black and white option so that it automatically prints in color, this is better when there are graphics or images in the document that you are going to print so that it can be differentiated .

How can you print a document in black and white from Word Online?

In case you want to print a document from Microsoft office online , or you don’t have the program on your computer, you can do it online, and the process is even easier.

This is a much easier way to be able to print your documents without the need to have the Microsoft Word program on your PC, you will only do it through the web with Microsoft online .

How to set black and white printing as default?

For those people who don’t understand what it is to change the printing as ‘Default’, it refers to the option that appears for the first time when printing , but this option can be changed if you wish. You can print PowerPoint notes .

If you want to print all the documents, you can change the default option from color to black and white, as we explained before when changing the default option.

Now it will be the default black and white option that will appear when you open the printer driver screen and so you will not have to configure it every time you use it .

To do this setup, you need to open the printer folder. Next, right-click on the printing icon and click on the ‘Printing Preferences’ option .

There you will have to change the printing option and click on ‘OK’, there you will have to configure the printing options according to your needs, in this case configure color to black and white which will be the default, that is, the one that will always print .
