Hello,
Please help.
I am trying to print out a Black and white photo. It's set to p print in grayscale but the photo comes out with a slight blue tinge to it. What can I do?
Complete novice here so please explain step by step.
Thank you very much in advance.

Problem is with printer. Injets approximate Blacks (if no black) and Grays from mixing colors.

New printers now offer true B&W.
HP offers Gray Ink (HP 59) for some of its printers.

Does your printer have a separate black ink cartridge? If so, then your printing program may have the option of printing black and white only. If instead, Color was previously selected, it would "make" black by mixing the red green and blue inks.
