Problem is with printer. Injets approximate Blacks (if no black) and Grays from mixing colors.

New printers now offer true B&W.
HP offers Gray Ink (HP 59) for some of its printers.

Does your printer have a separate black ink cartridge? If so, then your printing program may have the option of printing black and white only. If instead, Color was previously selected, it would "make" black by mixing the red green and blue inks.
