Printing in grayscale option is independent of what application you
print from. Your printer properties would have an option to select
"Print in Grayscale" in the Properties dialog box.

That is not even the MEANING of 'grayscale'. It means that the fonts
are rendered using shades of gray.

There is no such option in the printer.
