another problem I have never run into before....A whole group of photos that I did look great on screen as black/whites but print green??!! Photo's are done in PhotoShop Lightroom, tweaked in Photoscape, some into line drawings, some inverted etc...I went to print them out and they are green sooo I converted each one in Photoshop to "grayscale" thinking this was the issue but nope still print green color...what the heck?? Here is one of the photo...see looks great but prints out green when I print it..(inks look fine in my printer)

Could be the quality of paper, could be the quality of ink, quality of the printer or just your print settings. Are you printing from Photoshop? Even in greyscale you should have some "color handling" options.

That was what I was thinking...It could be grayscale but set to green... I think grayscale really just means one color.. I was going to open photoshop but I saw they were using something called PhotoShop Lightroom,and I don't have that..

I did set the printer to grayscale and tried printing from Photoshop (single image) and PageMaker7.0 (contact sheet) on everyday paper not photo paper. Sooo....from what you guys have said I think it is a setting in the printer...maybe...ahhhahaha....I wish I knew someone here to use there printer but I don't so...on my own on this one.
OMG I found the setting!!! thanks to all of you....why oh why can't HP leave things the same in different printers??? anyway besides the grayscale selection I had to go into another area and change it to black ink only!! this printer is so different than my other HP at home....grrrrrr "kicks" HP printer software developers!!

Monochromatic means one color, greyscale means color is discarded. But making it greyscale in your software only discards the color within the digital image, not necessarily in the printer. Greyscale doesn't tell the printer to discard color.
That said, I've read that it's more ideal to print black and white with color ink but not all printers can do it very well.
Changing the printer settings as explained above did not resolve my problem with the green printing. However what did work was to edit the original pictures that were printing as green to remove the saturation, which in essence changed the original image to a black and white image. When that edited image was inserted back into my document it printed in grey scale without any green tint. Not sure why this worked, but it gives people having this problem one more easy option to try.
