To avoid using colored ink for documents that are mostly text you can re-install your printer using a different name. Likewise you can force landscape for all prints the same way. After installation you set the properties for what you want.

Or watch this video.

You should prevent windows from managing printers

Windows will then ask you which printer to use.
