Control Panel (Classic View) Printers, Right Click the printer you
want designated as the default, click option "Set as Default"
To restrict a printer to only B&W - You'll need to Right Click the
printer again, left click Properties and "Poke" around the options
boxes until you find the one that inhibits color printing. There is no
single location for that option as each vendor printer has varying
option layouts in it's support applets.
