As far as the application is concerned everything is colour.
All the rendering takes place in RGB colour, and conversion to
the colorspace & colormodel of the printer happens in the driver.
If you want to query whether the printer is a color or b&w printer, or
specify the mode of the driver (ie ask a printer to use greyscale mode
rather than colour), then the next feature release (merlin aka 1.4)
will have APIs to do that.
