Printing colour images in black and white?

Question

I used to be able to click an option in "preferences" or "properties" before printing which allowed me to print colour images in black and white. But now the option is never open or highlighted and I don't know why it has changed. Would really like the option back. I have tried going into settings but may have missed something. Any ideas please?
Tried uninstall and re-install, looked at settings again not made a jot of difference. Been to Lexmark and waiting for reply.
I am using Lexmark Z601 and Windows xp pro in MS word.

It's a function of your Printer Driver. If it's no longer available, Lexmark is forcing you to buy more ink.
