Found it! It was hidden in the depths of Preview printing options. Select Paper Type/Quality and it's under 'Color Options':

In OSX 10.10.3, Preview

Under Quality & Media.

I have a strong feeling the cause of the variety of locations is due to the printer drivers themselves.

The drivers are provided by the manufacturers, even the ones included with the OS. I don't think they all follow the same human interface guidelines or don't make much of an attempt at uniformity.

For those of you who don't have the "Grayscale printing" option available on Canon printer: You can set this in "Canon IJ Printer Utility" app. You should be able to find it with Spotlight.

I am using an Epson printer on a Mac and the grayscale printing option does not show up in the preview app when the file is a jpeg, png, or other image.

When I convert the image to PDF, that option appears.
