Setting up a grayscale filter

[Sanjeev]

Hello,

Thanks for replying.  The printer is a Xerox WorkCentre 7345. I do not know how to determine whether the device is capable of dealing with different color spaces.  Thanks again,

Sanjeev

I read somewhere that I could use a CUPS filter to achieve this goal but I am not sure how to proceed.  From some snooping, I think I might need to add the pxlmono.ppd as a filter, but I do not know where.  Also, if I have another printer that I want to continue printing colour on, how do I tell CUPS to only apply the filter to only one of the printers?  Many thanks in advance.
