Why can't I print PDF files?

Why cant I print in grayscale?

  • I just got a new laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I hooked up my HP 6110xi printer, and found out that I can't print in grayscale, it always prints in color. I print out a lot of lecture slides, and would prefer to not use color because of the amount of slides that there are, but when I try to print anything, pdf files, websites; anything in grayscale, it always comes out in color, even when I click the option to only use the black cartridge only (and yes there is ink in the black cartridge). I cant just download HP drivers for the printer since HP no longer offers them for that model, since Vista is supposed to have the drivers necessary for it. I know that this isn't a unique problem with this model and windows vista, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.

  • Answer:

    The problem is that Vista is using a "generic" driver not a "proper specific" driver, hence you losr some of the functionality and control. If they do not make a driver, then you have 2 choices Live with it as is Buy a new printer
