Public bug reported: I have updated to 12.10 and have a new network printer HP Officejet 4500. I don't need to print in color, so I went to System Settings -> Printers -> HP-Officejet-4500 -> Printer Options -> Output Mode: High Quality Grayscale. Then Apply and OK. (Media Size if set to A4 Borderless 210x297mm since we use A4 paper here.)
I even logged out and turned the printer off and back on. Still a color pdf file prints in color and NOT in black and white. I have a second computer on the LAN which has 12.04 and I tried the same pdf file from there. From 12.04 it prints black and white. Clearly I am not going to upgrade that computer if I won't be able to print black and white.
