Would like to know how to use the printing option to “Greyscale”. Is that right?

I will definitely help you.

I recommend you to follow the steps below and check if that helps.

To use a Color management setting other than Color Smart/sRGB, the driver default, follow the steps below:

• Select Start, Settings, and then Printers and Faxes (right-click on the printer name).
• Select Printing Preferences, then Color.
• Change the Color management settings "Greyscale", and select OK.

Let me know if that worked.
