One of the big missing features in the new printing UI on macOS is Black and White printing. The current printing dialog has a "Black & White" checkbox, but in the new UI the "Color mode" dropdown in locked to "Color". I expect this will be a major source of annoyance for users on macOS if we push the new UI out in its current state.

Emilio, is there any chance you would be able to try to add the hacky code we discussed before on Matrix? I know you're not super enthusiastic about it, but if we're going to try to ship in v83 I think we need this. :-/

Ok, I can try to. Unfortunately not until tomorrow because my dog literally ate my mac's charger this weekend lol (so one should arrive tomorrow).
This should probably wait for bug 1667053 anyways though, as this is going to just add a driver-specific thing to the print settings and such.

The option for Black and White print is available and can be selected on Firefox 84.0b4 and 85.0a1 (2020-11-23) but it won't work as it is affected by Bug 1676191 which is affecting our available color printer, and so we are not able to verify it completely
