IrfanView & XnView each can do this;
and when scanning, you can set the printer to B&W.
Hoping this helps accomplish whatever you're seeking,

Sounds like an interesting project.
Which program did you choose to convert your scanned photo into a
black-white sketch?
As a struggling actor years ago, one time I was sneaking my 8 x 10 glossy
in for a small role being cast at Warner Brothers. I stumbled quite by
accident into the animators building. They were so nice and understanding
sharing cells and sketches which were amazing and beautiful.
I can't imagine anything substituting for that kind of talent.
My little project so pedestrian in comparison.
Thank you so much!
Best,
Charles.
