How to print black and white only on Konica-Minolta 2400W
I have Konica-Minolta 2400W color printer which run out of all colors.
I replaced black and white cartrige only (too expensive to replace all 4) and changed on Printer Properties panel under Quality Color Setting to B/W.
While it prints in Black & White, the printing is very faint.
It seems it expects other colors to be there and draws out only a portion which would be used if other cartriges were full.
The black cartridge is definitely full (the driver displays the picture of it full and and bitterly complains about other 3 being empty.).
I ried moving "Contrast" and "brightness" slider to 0 and to 100 in any combination - it made absolutely no difference.
Is there are way to force the printer to utilize only the black cartrige to its full extent?
Your help would be grately appreciated.
best regards
