Those are good questions.

Digging in a bit more, it looks like my particular printer doesn't have a setting to use _only_ black in. Instead, it mixes other inks when it needs to print in grayscale.

So I wonder if our issue here is that we're somehow not getting the correct `SupportsMonochrome()` value from printers. 

I'm also not sure what this means for the terminology `Grayscale` vs. `Monochrome`. It seems like perhaps Monochrome means to instruct your printer to only use black ink, where as Grayscale means to submit a print job that has no color?

I wonder if we could provide more options in the future, for printers like mine, by editing the source content to be grayscale and submitting that, even if it's technically a full-color print job.
