i trying to print out pictures in grayscale but it has a tint of blue/green in it is there a setting in Color Setting for working spaces or settings that i should set it to to get actual grayscale pictures. I was printing fine until i changed it and i forgot what setting it was on.

thanks

When you get to the print window, click on Output and select Composite Gray.

Is your printer itself set to gray? When you get to the print window you can click on Printer (mac) or Settings (pc - thanks to jmoblak's earlier post). That gets you to the printer's software - where you can select grayscale. Some printers have a "black & white" that actually prints grays too - just avoids any use of the cmy cartridge.

Another trick is to select PDF as your printer and composite grayscale as output and make a pdf. That'll be grayscale and, when you go to print it, you;ll get your printer's setup menu right away.

By the way, I'm guessing that this is a non-postcript inkjet printer. If so, it won't recognize CMYK. You might change your working space to RGB - although this usually doesn't have a bad effect on grayscales.

i set the printer in grayscale but it still prints out in this blueish/greenish tint to the picture. i believe i have to play around with the color settings but i forget which options to choose to make it work on my PC
