There's an article detailing the procedure at the Luminous Landscape, here's the link:

I think it's worth a try, I've been happy with it.

No B&W setting. Thats what desturation is for in Photoshop
I've tried all the different ways of printing mono from digital files, and you know what? I've settled on converting to greyscale and printing as a greyscale (S9000).
I saw absolutely no difference between a desaturated colour image printed
in best colour, and greyscale. None. You'd think there would be some loss
of quality switching, but I can't see it. I've compared prints under a
loupe and the dot patterns are the same. The S9000 puts down colour dots
as well as black, but the pic is in black and white! My old Epson Stylus
Photo EX only used to spit out black ink in greyscale. The S9000 pics are
SUPER.
I was getting a greeny tint until I realised that different papers react
differently to different inks. I use Canon inks but am still finishing
off Epson paper. I've ordered some Ilford Gallerie, but I read that the
best results are on Canon's (appropriately expensive) Photo Paper Pro.
I wish I could run a second printer just for mono with a full set of blacks...
Cheers, Cotty
