No grayscale option when printing, just black and white.

When I go to print, there isn't a grayscale option, just black and white. It wastes too much black ink in black and white mode, and there used to be a grayscale option.

Your image shows that you are using Apple's AirPrint driver.


If you want the Grayscale setting you will need to remove this printer and add again, this time making sure that you select the Canon MG3200 series in the Use menu rather than AirPrint. Note that you may be prompted to download the driver from Apple if it is not already installed on the Mac.


With the Canon MG3200 driver installed, via the Quality & Media menu you will have the Grayscale option as shown below.
