Digital BW, The Print

Your choices with the 2200 / ImagePrint combo are to print colour 
with Ultrachrome color inks, or to print B&W, also using the 
Ultrachrome inks.  In the latter case, there is a seperate inks 
setting ("gray matte pigment") that you select, along with a special 
profle (one with "gray" in the name) that activates the tint picker.

You could print a gray image without the tint picker - just a regular 
desaturated RGB image - but you may not then get the same B&W quality 
you'd get from the dedicated profiles designed for the best B&W 
printing.  But you could then at least colorise part of your image.

Or the third alternative would be to use ImagePrint to print to a 
dedicated B&W printer with quad inks (MIS, Piezo).  There is support 
for this in the program.

Cripes, I'm starting to sound like Andrew Rodney :-)
