My pdf won't print in grayscale

I found a free daily calendar PDF online that I downloaded and I like to print it out to prioritize and schedule the tasks I need to work on.

It happens to be in color, which I don't need, and I don't want to waste colored ink, so I always check the "print grayscale" box in the print dialog box.

I've never had problems with it before; it always printed in grayscale with no problem, but a few days ago, the preview in the print dialog didn't change when I checked that box. I thought maybe it was some kind of glitch and it might print grayscale anyway, but no. It printed color and prints color every time.

I tried to look around in advanced settings, thinking maybe there was some other box that needed to be checked or unchecked, but I couldn't find any.

 

Am I missing something? Has anyone else ever had a similar problem?

I realize I could probably open the PDF in Photoshop and change it permanently to grayscale there, but I kind of would like to figure out how to fix this in case I run into the problem again.
