KDEPrint and forcing Black & White Printing

Don't know if this should be in Hardware or Graphics but most of my searches for KDEprint pointed me to this forum. Anyway,

I've just installed a new colour printer (Lexmark c510) under KDEPrint and it prints just fine. The problem is it always prints in colour. For the sake of keeping costs down I'd like to be able to select B&W only when printing drafts but I can't seem to find any way of doing that in KDEprint (or KOffice).

Does anyone know if there is a way to force KDEprint to only produce B&W output?

Currently my printer is set up to use PS3 with LMAAB1P1.ppd

Thanks.

In the print dialogue,
Click on Properties, then in the Colour Mode text box, choose Greyscale

Ok, that's what I would have expected but I don't seem to have that option, unless what I think is the print dialogue isn't. Below are all the options I can find. Did I miss something?

Thanks.
