Ryanair Boarding Passes

[malagabob]

I normally fly Easyjet, but have booked a short break away flying Ryanair. Apart from the add ons. Their boarding passes are eating up my printer ink. They have a solid blue background. When my print out is set to a small scale, and black and white, first pass is blue then a pass in black. I’ve got the passes downloaded to my phone but wanted a backup. I don’t think my printer will print a black and white copy like EasyJet’s

Why not? Mine are B&W.

[ummmm]

And like you I like to have a hard copy even though it's on my phone.

just cut the bit you need and print that.

Ryanair are happy to accept boarding passes printed out on mono printers (because most offices, and many homes, have mono laser printers) and I've never encountered any colour printer that can't be instructed to work as a mono one.

After pressing Ctrl-P (or File > Print), click on 'Properties' and look for an option to use monochrome printing. (With my Canon printer it's labelled 'Grayscale printing'). Tick that box and your printer will work in mono only.

I spilt a cup of coffee over my boarding pass. As it wouldn't scan they sent me to the desk and I got a hand written one. Free of charge!!

Yes, to the best of my knowledge, so long as you have checked in and attempted to print a boarding pass, Ryanair and others will print (or write although that's a new one to me) at the check-in desk a replacement free of charge.

Thanks to all. On checking the properties option Chris. That’s how the passes were printed. Solid black background. Tor’s Tora Tora. Thanks for that. Cropping might be the best option. Cut out and print just the bar code.

I print all mine off at the public library @10p per pass. I don't know whether that would be a saving for you or not, but it suits me.
