The printer's a Canon Pixma MP160. It has a black cartridge and a colour cartridge. Both must be present for the printer to work.
The person for whom I've set the printer up (using Canon-supplied software) wants to use the printer as a black printer only. The Canon-supplied software includes a command line printing application that permits one to print in black only, but it's fiddly and not a realistic option for the person for whom I've set up the printer. I thought I might be able to solve the problem by editing the .ppd file, but that didn't work. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how I might try to get the printer to print automatically in black only?
