concerning printing b&w, if you use pcl3 and hpdj driver they default
to b&w, all the other drivers don't do that ... so you perhaps have
to check your driver docu, what option is needed to get color printing
working...

Look into the apsfilter script, here you see
gs options, that apsfilter currently understands.

      hpdj|pcl3)
        # gs driver specific options
        case "$option" in
          low)      RESOLUTION="150x150" ;;
          med*)     RESOLUTION="300x300" ;;
          high)     RESOLUTION="600x600" ;;
          500|510|520|540|unspec)
                    GS_MODEL="$option" ;;
          500c|550c|560c|850c|855c)
                    GS_MODEL="${option%c}C" ;;
          mono)     GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sColorMode=mono" ;;
          cmy)      COLOR=color
                    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sColorMode=CMY" ;;
          cmy+k)    COLOR=color
                    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sColorMode=CMY+K" ;;
          cmyk)     COLOR=color
                    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sColorMode=CMYK" ;;
          draft)    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sPrintQuality=draft" ;;
          norm*)    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sPrintQuality=normal" ;;
          pres*)    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sPrintQuality=presentation";;
          plain)    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sMediaType=plain" ;;
          bond)     GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sMediaType=bond" ;;
          prem*)    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sMediaType=Premium" ;;
          glos*)    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sMediaType=glossy" ;;
          trans*)   GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sMediaType=transparency" ;;
          photo)    GS_FEATURES="$GS_FEATURES -sMediaType=photo" ;;
        esac

When I use my DeskJet 970Cxi, I have to use the command
lpr -C high:present:cmyk
to print in color ...

You have to read the doku, what makes sense using your printer,
especially concerning the color model: cmy, cmy+k or cmyk
