You don't really provide enough information about your printer. What printer are you using, and how is the PDF failing to print? If you're using a PostScript b/w printer, you could print as an image. You could also select Print > Advanced and select composite gray. You can redistill using the PPD from a PostScript black and white printer. But Leonard is right...this is not your best choice to solve this problem.

If you insist on doing this using the redistillation process, a method that is NOT approved of by Adobe - then you will need to find a grayscale PPD... OR better, use a 3rd party tool such as PDF Enhancer (http://www.apago.com/enhancer.html) or Quite a Box of Tricks (http://www.quite.com).
