The Canon MX882 does not support the PCL printer language, so the Generic PCL driver is not an option.


But the Canon driver does have a Grayscale setting, located under the Quality & Media menu as shown below.

So when you are in Safari and you select to print, ensure you have selected the Show Details button. Then from the Safari menu, change to the Quality & Media menu and then select the Grayscale Printing setting.

That's not the print/fax settings. What I am showing is the actual Print dialog you get when you select print from the File menu. That is when you set the options for that particular print job.


You need to look around especially under the Paper Quality settings as Pahu is showing in the screen shot he posted.
