I print a lot of coupons….how about you?

Thankfully I lucked out in buying a printer that’s ink is not expensive and it seems to last a pretty long while.

I have an HP Deskjet F4440 and it does take the above ink however I almost never buy both and I very rarely buy color.

Coupons do not have to printed in color!  I print all my coupons in black and have never had a problem.

In order to print all your coupons in black/grayscale  you need to change your printers default setting to do so.

Here are the steps I take to change my printer settings.  (keep in mind I am running Windows 7 so the steps you need to take may be a little different)

Click start, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and printers, then I double click the picture of my printer, then customize my printer,  then under general I click preferences, then I mark print in grayscale and black ink only and click apply.

This may seem like a lot but it only takes a minute or two and it is done.
