    Is there a way to print in just black and white, not greyscale? My problem is I am printing from a color document onto a b&w laser printer, and some of the details in light colors are not showing up when printed, especially some text that is grey on the web page. I wouldn't mind if any color got printed as black and only white is left white.... any way to do that?

    Have a look in the print dialogue box, there maybe a setting there for B&W. It'll depend on the Application and the printer.

    Open in Preview to force print in black and white

    For color PDFs, Control-Click on the file in Finder > Open With > Preview. Once open in Preview app, go to File > Save As and the dialog box will have a "Quartz Filter" dropdown in the center. Click on those options and choose "Gray Tone" and save file. The new file is now ready to be printed as is black and white on any color printer.

    Or just see this post "How to Save Color Toner: Print PDFs in Black and White".
