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.

         Shouldn't matter if you are working in a composite workflow...

         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).
