printer default color mode

To change the default color mode used when printing in Linux by applications such as Firefox, run first the command "lpoptions -l | grep Color" to get the relevant options. Example output:

CNColorMode/Color Mode: *Auto color mono

To change the default color mode to 'Black & White' for ALL printers run then the following command (it can also be done on a per printer basis using the option '-p' of the command "lpoptions"):

lpoptions -o CNColorMode=mono

The color mode can be set to 'Color' when needed through the print options dialogue.

      The command given above changes the default color mode for ALL printers. But it can also be done on a per printer basis using the option '-p' of the command "lpoptions".
