You pick colour or B&amp;W at the printer driver and it only communicates the printer used and the completion of the job. It does not display the print format commands (at least no printers I have used).

For my customers I set up two printers for each physical colour printer. I set one to Black &amp;&nbsp;White and make this the default. I set the second to Colour. You could name the colour printer something like &quot;Colour - Expensive&quot; so when they select the printer they will see it is expensive.

Just to clarify.<br />
You requested a way to produce:<br />
&quot;A pop up message will state the cost and recommend changing to black and white?&quot;<br />
<br />
This is not possible.<br />
<br />
The cost of ink for the same page printed in color vs black &amp;&nbsp;white will depend on the pages content each time.<br />
Gray scale printing greatly reduces the amount of ink used, with somewhat reduced clarity depending on the pages content.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.

Hi,<br />
I was looking to see if it’s possible to get a pop up message if a user selects color printing? <br />

Color printing pop-up message

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
