Set default colour to print Black

[Dave Davison]

Hi....using a rather ancient Epson C46 printer, rather slow but still works ok. Of late I have noticed that it is using the three colours to print black despite there still being sufficient ink in the Black cartridge. On a previous Epson printer I seem to remember seeing a tab to set the default colour to black but as the screenshot shows, there does not seem to be that option with my current one. Any suggestions please. Thank you Dave.

Perhaps Why are the colour inks used when I am printing in black? and How do I select the 'Black Ink Only' or 'Grayscale' print mode? will help.
