If an advanced option for printing in "Black Ink Only" is not available in your driver you can also simply remove the color cartridge and set it aside with the nozzles up.  Print in single-cartridge mode as described on page 49 of the same document here.

 

If the color cartridge will be out of the printer for more than thirty minutes store it as shown in the document here.
