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.
