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

I've found that this works extremely well printing from photoshop with the epsons on color prints as well. It seems the 2 programs fight with each other if you don't.
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.
