HP Officejet will not print in Bk only after udate

[Bill]

I set my printer to black ink only at 300 DPI and have never had a problem until the last update. Every time the printer will print in color draft mode only no matter what print settings are chosen. 600 dpi black ink only, grey scale or what ever. I deleted and reinstalled the printer and it still will only print color. I am tired of wasting ink.

I use 9.04 and would load 4.10 if the video drivers were stable.

I mean 9.10 distro.

Hello Bill,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with cups and printing. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu has been updated since then.

If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once):

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

I have no idea if this was resolved. It's at least 10 years since I had an
HP-5400 I quit using Ubuntu when it became too much like Windoze. Other
distros work fine.

Have a great day!

Closed per reporter’s feedback.

No problem. I really forgot about it.
