What I've done is:
- Use the CUPS interface (
http://localhost:631/- specificallyhttp://localhost:631/admin/#HPColorOptionsPanel) to change the default forPrint colors as greytoon. - From a Print dialog, on the Presets menu choose
Show presets... - Tick
Reset Presets menu to "Default Settings" after printing.
When I want a colour print, I go to the 'Colour/Quality' section of the Print Settings dialog and set up the colour options as I want them. I've saved them in a preset, so I can just select a colour printing preset when I want it, but after each job it reverts to black and white.
The Printing from Safari setup sequence for multiple printers.
Click on Print and in the pop up choose your printer and the settings you saved for it.
It will show it correctly in Presets!
When saving you will be asked for which printer the settings apply.
