If you know where to find the grayscale printing option for other printer models, please share in the comments below.Įditors' note, July 14, 2014: This article was updated to reflect the fact that the layout of the print screen varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even model to model within the same manufacturer. Then on the Quality & Media page, I need to check the box for Grayscale Printing. Instead, I must click on the Preview option and select Quality & Media from the pull-down menu. For reasons that escape me, it's not among the many options and settings listed in the default Preview view for my Canon inkjet. To print a document in black-and-white from the Preview app in OS X, you need to find the Grayscale Printing option. If you want a reminder of where the grayscale check box is hiding in the Preview app, this post is for you (and me).
(If it doesn’t, open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, select the desired printer and click Open Print Queue.) In the Print Queue app, look at the status of the printer and the print job.
It appears to be the creation of a snapshot or the way the snapshot doesn't take account of recording surfaces here: Whenever you print, the printer’s Print Queue app appears in your Dock, named for the printer. In the PDF drop-down menu, select Save as PDF. Near the bottom of the Print window, you will see a small drop-down menu labeled PDF. I'm not entirely sure that is causing the problem. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select File > Print. Having these multiple levels seems likely part of the reason that we're hitting corner cases that cairo isn't handling.
