You're exactly right -- with the 2200/7600 the gray scale is basically
just K and LK for the basic density.  There are trace amounts of
LC and LM to get the color correct.  With the 1200 and Gen4 you'd
mainly be using just K.  You could use colors just like the Epson
driver to make grays but then there wouldn't be much advantage.
