Is there a Xerox printer driver that can output solid black and white, no
grey scale, no dithering, only solid lines and text? In otherwords, if an
application sends grey to the printer, the printer will then change it to
solid black.

I don't know about printer drivers (and it may well depend upon the
printer model) but you can certainly control this stuff in almost any
image processing software.

The question I'd like to understand is why you would wish to go this
route through the printer driver. You can usually have much better
control altering the image in an image editing/modification program to
make it a 2 bit color depth image, which could create black and white
only, than expecting the printer to do it for you. Then you can control
where the "break point" is between the black and white, which is often
at the 50% point.

If you are speaking of using a screen or dot matrix to create "false"
gray, that is yet another option most image programs allow for. Is
there a specific purpose you have in mind for limiting an image to black
or white only, such as silk screen printing?

users. We would like to make it where they can select black and white
from our application then we can choose a queue with a black and white
driver. But that might be a good solution for the interim, thanks.

this is one of those type of questions that amuses me ....
i have a few customers that expect the printer to do/fix what the graphic
designer/creator of the file fails to do
