Printing in B/W only (or grayscale) with HP PSC (multifunction)
I am a mac newbie and would like to print on my HP PSC 2100 (combo print, scan, copy type of deal) only in B/W (which I think is synonymous with "grayscale"). While the printer is meant to be used for color as well, the only cartridge that I have in there is the black and white since I never do any color printing (don't print photos at home).
I would like to know what are the appropriate settings for successfully printing web pages (i.e. google maps), emails, just plain old word documents, etc. but ONLY in B/W.
I have tried changing paper type/quality to grayscale, but that doesn't seem to be allowing me to print correctly, for example, google maps print as very faint silhouettes. i realize that this setting is meant for the _paper_ but there was nothing else that I could find relating to B/W. There is no color cartridge in the slot, and I don't want to use color cartridges (expensive, useless to me, and ultimately wasteful for my applications).
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

if i am not mistaken, most printers give you an option to print only in black&white or greyscale under advanced print properties, you could take a look in there first.
