Different programs in different systems (Windows, Mac and Linux) processes print options differ. Unfortunately, the print does not always match what you think you ordered. Especially choices for color, grayscale and black / white. Grayscale is often produced with colors, therefore the load is "color price." The safest method is to select black / white printing at the printer setup, and not inside the programs.
