No.  For black and white printing I'm happy to use 
one set of inks and one kind of paper.   If my curves and
histogram are set right I expect 0 to print as perfectly
black, 255 to print as perfectly white, and consistent
relationship in between.    If my monitor is and printer
are profiled corectly I expect the print to look like what
I see on the screen.

I can already do this in color.
