GstarCAD controls the color and lineweight of the drawings' output by Plot style table. If the drawing is designed in multiple colors, you just need to set the output color as black when print it. GstarCAD provides some preset Plot style tables, if you need to print the drawings in monochrome; you just need to select monochrome.ctb then click the Edit button to adjust lineweight. If you want your drawings to use the same printing setting, you can save the CTB file.

If you want the true color can be printed according to the Plot style table, just click the "Advanced" button in the "Print" panel and check the "Use the transform from the true colour".
