I have recently installed acrobat 3D and converted an AutoCad drawing into a PDF, it views in color but I would like to print it black/white.

This should be a simple proceedure. With the color document open, bring up the print dialgo box, open up the preferences of your printer and set it to print black ink only.

I'm using a Canon Color IR C5180
and the option is a check box (print color as black) which I checked and still no black/white print, just prints a black image.

When this is working properly, this will only print a gray-scale image (yellows print entirely too light to read, while greens & magentas are a darker gray)... It will still not be pure black and white. Unacceptable in any case.
