I think previously to upgrading to Leopard, I could create various
printer presets such as
black and white,
1200 dpi

Hi Gary,
You still can set custom print presets in Leopard. The Grayscale
option is under Print Settings - Media Type: Color: use the arrows
to change from "color" to "Grayscale".
This capability must now be dependant on what type of printer is
connected, as my lexmark b & w laser printer has no Media option.
I checked the G4 ( with 10.4.8) to see what it showed up and yep ,
under colour it has a Quartz Filter options, see

seems 10.5 does not have these -

I wonder why.
Anyway , I may have to make my own b & w filter

But what if you want that to be the default setting? Reaching back
into our collective Macintosh memory, hold down the Option key when
selecting the Print button and the current Preset will become the
default for all apps.

thanks for helping me understand this all a bit better.
Your a champion.
