can the driver change greyscale to solid black?
Is there a Xerox printer driver that can output solid black and white, no
grey scale, no dithering, only solid lines and text? In otherwords, if an application sends grey to the printer, the printer will then change it to solid black. |

In otherwords, if an application sends grey to the printer, the printer will then change it to solid black. I've done this routinely with image software. For example, I use the free Irfanview and adjust the image threshold and contrast to full extreme. Presto: instant solid black and white. Try it; you'll like it. Richard |

I don't know about printer drivers (and it may well depend upon the printer model) but you can certainly control this stuff in almost any image processing software. The question I'd like to understand is why you would wish to go this route through the printer driver. You can usually have much better control altering the image in an image editing/modification program to make it a 2 bit color depth image, which could create black and white only, than expecting the printer to do it for you. Then you can control where the "break point" is between the black and white, which is often at the 50% point. If you are speaking of using a screen or dot matrix to create "false" gray, that is yet another option most image programs allow for. Is there a specific purpose you have in mind for limiting an image to black or white only, such as silk screen printing?

Point taken. I can actually do this in Microsoft Paint image
attributes black and white. My boss said this is too cumbersome for our users. We would like to make it where they can select black and white from our application then we can choose a queue with a black and white driver. But that might be a good solution for the interim, thanks. |
