Re: Print in black and white or grayscale

The location of the option to print "grayscale" or black varies with the
printer driver. All I can suggest is navigating to printer properties and
trying the various tabs, &c. E.g. for some HP DeskJet's, it is on the
General Printing Preferences Paper\Quality tab.

Re: Print in black and white or grayscale

With What printer?

Is it using the driver that came "in the box" with VISTA or did you
install VISTA specific software/drivers from the printer manufacturer.

Have a look in your START / Programs / Printer name or manufacturer (eg
HP photosmart in my case) for a link to a readme file; or look in
Windows Explorer or other file manager for it.

I just found a Readme file for my HP PS8250 printer which gives a
corrected list of where things are located in the printer driver
controls that differ from what the manual may tell you.
