I think Photoshop's desaturate uses the LAB luminescence channel.
Using channel mixer gives you options.  Not the same thing.

I've found a way of getting what I consider good B&W prints with Photoshop
and Epson printers.

Image>Adjustments>Channel Mixer>Monochrome

File>Print With Preview>Show More Options>Output>Print

When the printer software opens;

Properties>Advanced>No Color Adjustment


Sorry to bust in, newbie-ish, but I have a question about the above process. :-) Is doing what you described any different from choosing Image>Mode>Grayscale ? Somehow I have missed this "Monochrome" setting in the Channel Mixer before...

I've been looking for a decent way to print black and white on my Epson 900.
Now you've given me a new idea I have to try... Thanks.

One other question. Do you print in color on your Epson, or choose black and
white when you print?

BTW, I'm on a Mac, OSX.
