I only ever use Advanced (otherwise Epson tries to colour manage for me) - I can only guess that the driver dialogs are different for the two printers
There isn't a grayscale option under Color Controls. If I select PhotoEnhance, I can select a tone, as illustrated on the attached.
Anyway, from the Epson website - the R800 FAQ
Q: The color ink cartridge is expended even though I print in black only. Why does this happen?
A: To keep the print head clear, the printer uses a small amount of ink from all the cartridges whenever it prints and to keep the print head primed. Even if you select Black Only, some color ink is still being used.

That looks like a canned answer but I have not found anything to suggest otherwise and I'm not going to waste my ink proving it
Sorry Nogbad for highjacking the thread a little
