Default why does my MS Word print ugly yellow labels, not black?

All I can suggest is that you find out what has changed (besides this
behavior). Updates to Office or Windows? A different printer driver? Other
software you have installed? A virus?

We never had to do this before. We have multiple kinds of documents to
print, some color and some black and white. This is a very inconvinient

way
to print documents. Especially since we have not run into this problem in
the months since we got this printer.

You might try setting the printer for "black and white" or "monochrome"
printing through the printer Properties. Most color printers will have

such
a setting.

the color cartridge was just changed, and I can't find a way to change

that
setting of the printer.

I suspect that your printer defaults to using a composite black for

labels
and you are low on one color of ink in your color cartridge.

Here's the situation. I have Word set to print black. The

letters
are
set
to black, in the labels section, it is all set to black. Yet,

when I
print,
and ugly yellow/red label gets printed. The only way to stop

that, is
to
change the printer to b&w only. Printing as a regular document,

it
prints
black. When I try to print the label (on an envelope) it comes

out a
different color. How can I stop this?
