Can't seem to print black only on Epson R220

Can't seem to print black only on Epson R220

2005-12-09 by tim_budd79

Hi all

I am new to this list.

I have an Epson R220 running on a Mac mini with Tiger and Photoshop CS2. I would like to 
produce some black and white prints on it. After doing much research and reading Clayton 
Jones' articles on black only printing, I feel that this is was suited for me and gave it a shot 
the other night.

However, I have not managed to print black only. I followed Jones' quick setup steps to 
print black only but came to a stumbling block. I could not find a quickcheck box for 
selecting 'black only' in the printer settings menu. I ended up using the greyscale function 
found in the colour drop down menu thinking that this is the equivalent. But when it 
finished printing, I checked, and found it had used the colour inks as well.

Where is the black only option found. I checked in the printer settings in CS2 print dialog 
box and had all the other options there that Jones' mentions but not the black only 
function.

Please help

Many thanks
