Digital BW, The Print

One way to do color and BW from the same printer is to use the
Black Only method for the BW prints.  It's easy to get started,
doesn't require expensive extra software, and you're always free to
try other methods later whenever you feel like it.  There is some
information about it at my web site (see below for link).

I have only used Epson, so someone else will have to jump in here.

Clayton
