I wish I could make it stop doing that. My Epson DX4050 is in the habit of printing greys, such as a 50% grey, as a medium green. I wish I could make it stop doing that.

But it won't fix the problem if you are using an Epson printer. They eat color ink even when only printing Black/Grey scale. My Epson Stylus Photo R300 has completely gone through a set (5 separate color ink cartridges) of color inks without ever printing a single color item. Must be 'cleaning heads' an awful lot even if color is not used. Good idea! But it won’t fix the problem if you are using an Epson printer.
