It does NOT have a gray cartridge.  It has a "light black" cartridge
which turns out to be a sort of sepia color.

The 2200 out of the box is incapable of making a decent black and
white print.  It suffers from a problem called metamerism, which means
that the color cast of it's "gray" values shift de[pending on the
light source - for instance they same image might look pinkish under
"daylight" fluorescent light and greenish under sunlight.

There are various solutions people use to get around this - read the
archives in this group to get a flavor of them.
