FWIW, with another wrinkle (print settings, not color), I tried the
following script in 10.6.8, choosing a 5-page MS Word file:
tell application "HP 6MP via JetDirect"
set vFile to choose file
print vFile with properties {starting page:1, ending page:1} without
print dialog
end tell
It launched, Word, opened and closed the file and printed it in
background; but it printed all 5 pages, and did not quit Word.

also contributed to this thread with an AppleScriptObjC angle. There are
some pre-built Quartz filters, such as Gray Tone, but I'm not sure
(think not, actually) if getting it to grayscale will assure
black-ink-only printing.
