Printing In Black And White

I have just purchased a HP Officejet Pr 8600 color printer and am only interested in printing in black in white.  I have no need to print in color at this time. I am a dentist and we print daily schedules which appear in color on our screen but we do not need to print them in color.  Just in black and white.  Right now we are having to disable the colors on the schedule to print in black and white.  We would prefer to leave the color coding system of the schedule in place and be able to print in black and white.   How do I disable the color portion of the printer?

All you need to do is access your settings option on your printer. In the settings it will give you the option of printing in color, black and white or greyscale. It will also let you darken or lighten your printing.
