This will vary from printer to printer. For more detailed instructions we would need to know which printer you use.

Most colour printers have a black cartridge and a number of colour cartridge.

In this case you should go into the printer properties and set it for black and white printing or grey scale printing.

Some colour printers have an interchangeable cartridge. You would need to remove the colour cartridge and replace it with a compatible black cartridge.

Text: Make sure the text is black.

Pictures: Try editing the picture to make it black and white or if you have a printer with options, go into picture options. Or if you do, print it out in color first and then copy it in black and white.

Without knowing the specifics of the printer... When you ask it to print, you should get a dialogue box, so you can change any settings before you send the file to the printer. There should be an option to print in monochrome in there.

The software that calls the printer lets you set the color of the type.

Pictures can be converted to black and white by any picture editor.

I suppose you could replace the color ink cartridges by black, but this would make it impossible to print in color

This is probably not possible on any brand of color capable printer.

If you want a printer that only prints with black ink use a monochrome printer.
