Digital BW, The Print

Yes and no.  You need to turn it OFF in PS - ie make sure that PS is not
doing colour management and converting the file data for a profile that is
not consistent with the output of the printer for that driver mode (eg any
Epson supplied colour profile - which is all of them).  Even if you send a
profile (so colour management is off in PS but passed to the printer as Let
Printer Determine Colors), when you select AB&W in the driver this profile
is ignored (because it is a colour profile and does not portray the
stimulus-response behaviour of the driver in ABW mode).
