I'm assuming the user has enough sense to realise they can't print to a
scanner (assuming multipurpose devices are name "modelX Scanner" and "modelX
Printer")

I haven't been able find any drivers for my scanner, so  probably don't know
too much about usage. All I'm saying is that it sounds like a good idea
because they are _relatively_ similar.

I mean having a checkbox on the main dialog which would convert the document
to greyscale before printing (or however CUPS handles this sort of thing).
