Printing in greyscale
---------------------
To get the list of options available for your printer use::
$ lpoptions [-p <printer_name>] -l
there will be a line like (note that different printers may have a more
specific option that you need to enable)::
ColorModel/Print Color Mode: Gray *RGB

command line, e.g.::
$ lpr -o ColorModel=Gray <filename>
