I've always used a black & white printer but recently I got a Canon MP560
color printer.

How can I make it print color pages in black & white?

Surely there must be an option in the Printer Properties but I can't see
it!

Press the black button?

Canon provides a ton of documentation with their printers and online.

Here's a page with access to a 16 meg onscreen helpfile

http://snipr.com/urcj6 PIXMA MP560 - High-Performance Wireless Photo
All-In-One with 2.0" LCD- MP560 series On-screen Manual (Windows 7/7
x64/Vista/Vista64/XP/XP x64/2000) mp560sosmwin110us.exe

That printer has a lot of features besides b&w vs color printing. You
should probably review a number of manual pages.

I have an MX860. In Printer Properties, on the Main tab, there is a
Grayscale Printing checkbox. If you have that option, give it a try.

Open it and look inside. If you've a dedicated reservoir that looks
charcoal black, often largest among variances of up to six containers,
you've likely acquired a featured printer model;- effectively, then,
by doubling a correspondence mode for better judging whether by
admixtures of primaries -- red and blue, (more correctly transposed
into cyan and magenta -- green being a pseudo primary, among WSIWYG
approximations) -- would appear suspiciously akin to an offset of
brown, baser offerings among economical printers provide.
