I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Have you actually 
printed B&W with ImagePrint? I do it all the time; and let me assure 
you that you store the files in grayscale, not RGB. Have a look at my 
Notes on ImagePrint Setup for Beginnners:

Also, there is no difference in this whether you're printing on the 
2200/2100 or the 9600/7600. FOR B&W PRINT USING IP GRAYSCALE PROFILES 
YOU USE GGAYSCALE FILES, NOT RGB FILES. (Sorry for "shoutiing.")

I simply don't agree with you that IP is difficult to install. The 
process is explained well and simply in the IP QuickStart Manual.
