Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org | Print | Printer and put a
tick by "Convert colors to grayscale". (Note that this setting does
not appear to influence Page Preview.)
I trust this helps.

If you are referring to BW printing, then I'd recommend setting up
several printer profiles for your printer. For example; I have a Canon
MP750 & in order to not use up color ink all the time I set it up as
several printers:
MP750 - default as BW
MP750Color - Standard color settings
M750Photo - Photo color settings & feed from the top tray
MP750DuplexBW - Black & White duplex printing
MP750DuplexC - Color duplex printing
So, when I go to print I just use the applicable printer for the print
job. It all goes to the same printer, but uses different settings.
If, on the other hand you want to actually modify the picture in the
document, then all you need to do is open the Picture Toolbar:
View|Toolbars|Picture - click on the graphics mode dropdown
(Default/GreyScale/Black-White/Watermark) and off you go.
I have done this as well for networked Laser Printers
Each "logical" printer had different settings
Draft, Normal, High-quality, etc.
I also have set up the same type for a color laser
and several inkjets.
It works great in Windows.
It saves trouble when I do not remember to re-set the printer's options.
On my color laser - B/W images have a brownish tint to them if I do not
remember to set the printer to B/W. I use my B/W laser for most B/W
printing except when I need to print high quality photos. The color
laser goes up to 2600 dpi, even in B/W mode, but the B/W laser (several
years older) has a max of 600 dpi. I use the older B/W laser since the
toner
is rated at 6000-8000 pages, yet the newer color rates at 1500-2500 pages
of B/W and/or color.
Thanks for bringing up the concept of multiple "logical" printers for the
same physical device. It take just a little time to set up, but it is worth
it in the long term.
