Printing B&W in OOo Draw (or other programs) will always leave out the
background/shading. Plus, it's an OOo setting, not a printer setting. If
you need deeper black then I'd recommend adjusting your printer settings
and/or color profile. Test by printing to a pdf first (cups-pdf) & then
when you get it just right, print to the printer.

In OOo: F1 then 'black and white printing'

Black & white converts all colors into the two values black and white.
All borders around objects are printed black. All text will be printed
in black. A background set by Format - Page - Background will not be
printed.
