How do you adjust the black and white printing scale on the HP 7800 printer.  The black prints in a medium gray and I want to adjust it to a darker tone WITHOUT affecting the color option.

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: control printers

    Hit Enter

    Select your printer

    Click

    Click the option that opens the Printer Properties dialog box.

    Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer Properties, Printer, or Preferences.

    On the properties window, click the Paper/Quality or Features tab, depending on your software.

    To print using only the black ink cartridge, change one of the following settings depending on what displays.

    Click Advanced, click Print in Grayscale, and then select Black Ink Only.

    Click the Black & White button.



          note:

        To use even less black ink at a lower quality, select the Draft quality setting when available.



To print high quality black & white documents or photos, change one of the following settings depending on what displays.

    Click Advanced, click Print in Grayscale, and then select Print in Grayscale or High Quality Grayscale.

    Click Print in Grayscale, and then select High Quality Grayscale.



          note:

        The printer uses a mix of black and color inks to produce a high quality black printout.

    Click OK, and then click Print to start the print job.

    The printer prints the print job in black ink for this print job only.

    This better can be told by HP Support but let me give a try.

    Type in Control Printers in the Run dialog box.

    Under Devices and Printers, Right click your desired Printer and select Printer Properties.

    Navigate through the settings and you would find the desired options.
