Black and white printing
My guess is that you copy the greyscale image, create an new CMYK image, paste the greyscale into each channel, and then adjust the curves on the CM and Y channels.

How can non-designers learn to approve a print layout?
This is a difficult question. What you are asking for is a checklist which includes the set of everything. The answer is really "no" there is no checklist, and "no" fancy DTP software will not help yo …
