Windows – Can’t Print in Black and White in Windows 10

epson-workforceprintingwindowswindows 10windows 7

I am having some issues about printing archives in Windows 10.

My printer, an Epson L455, would toggle between B/W and color printing according to my preferences in Windows 7.

Nonetheless, when I bought a computer with Windows 10 and plugged the printer in, it would then print archives only in color.

I was told I would be able to change my printer's color settings in Control Panel/Devices and Printers/Printing Preferences

However, no such option is displayed in the Printing Preferences window, as shown below

What should I do?

That over simplistic dialog box indicates that proper printer driver hasn't been installed on your system. Epson's Printing Preferences should look like this : EPSON L455 Printing Prefences

To solve your problem, download and run one of these driver softwares :

To find out your Windows 10 version :

  • right click "This PC", either the one on desktop or the one on Windows Explorer
  • left click "Properties"
  • look for "System Type"
