This reply is for XP. Probably will be about the same process for 7. Control panel - Open Printers - Right Click the printer icon for menu - Click on printing preferences - Click on the paper quality tab at the top - Click on the "Advanced" button at the lower right - Click the + to open documents - Click the next + to open printer features. There you will see "print in grayscale: OFF". This is the current default setting. Place your cursor arrow on any of the words "print in grayscale" and left click it. That will open up a drop down arrow to the right of the word "OFF". Click the drop down arrow and make your choice. I chose "Black ink only". Just bought the 8600 Plus yesterday. Had to search for the way to do this. Shouldn't be so involed; but is. Hope this helps.
