I want to print an image in black and white. I don't have any image editing software like Photoshop. I'm just doing a simple print with Preview, but I can't find how to make it print in black and white.

You can probably trying doing the following ways:

1. In preview under "Tools" (Move the Saturation bar to the left.)

2. Download gimp (Free Photoshop.)
3. Under print settings. (Not sure how good the quality is going to be.)

Just to add to #3, depending on your printer you may also have a checkbox in the preferences for "Grayscale" or "B&W". I use a Canon MP620 and it has a Grayscale checkbox.
