Forcing Black and White printing only 2605dn Color LaserJet
Debian Sid running CUPS.
Color LaserJet 2605dn.
This is a Postscript printer.
I suspect this is a bit off topic, but hopefully someone can help.
Thought I'd be smart and create two spoolers -- one for color printing one for blank and white to save on toner usage.
I noted in the PPD "*ColorDevice: True", so I created a new spooler with that PPD except changed ColorDevice to False.
This works great on, for example, OpenOffice -- everything is printed in B&W. But, printing from Firefox (or Safari from OS X)
it still prints in color.
I was just guessing about "ColorDevice" -- does that not do what I think it does?
Why does it work in OpenOffice but not with Firefox? This I'm a bit baffled by.
Is there another approach to accomplish black and white printing only? Frankly, I'm not sure if this will actually save me much
money in toner costs.
Thanks,
