Mono Printing - colour tanks are used up
Hi - I doubt this is a Windows-related problem, but I hope someone
will be along to help! Almost all the printing and copying on my Canon Pixma MP750 is done in black and white, and yet the colour tanks continue to empty. Can anyone advise why this happens?? We have a very low print and copy load (a few pages a week), and very little of that involves colour (say, 5% of some of the documents). The Printer Properties option in FilePrint is set to Grayscale and the screen shows Mono Printing on Plain Paper. Despite these settings and usage, the colour tanks need to be replaced about half as often as the black. I would be grateful for any info on stopping this happening. Many thanks in advance - Roy Simpson

Absolutely standard in ink jet printers..... the addition of the color inks
make the black look 'blacker'. And when the color tank(s) are empty, you probably can't print anything. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "RoyS" wrote in message oups.com...

Cari - many thanks for this. So, I guess the ink-sellers (aka printer
manufacturers) get you every which-way. best wishes - Roy

Yes, they do. I got a used Lexmark Optra S laser printer to use for
monochrome... cost me all of $14.75 on eBay ($50 for shipping) and it's the default printer for the whole home network. On its arrival about 2 1/2 years ago, I purchased a new toner cartridge ($35) for it. We're still on that one and it shows no signs of getting low. Inkjet printers are for pretty color documents and photos. Ordinary documents - forget the inkjet and go laser. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "RoyS" wrote in message ups.com...
