You can. Here are Canon's instructions:

Select the command you perform printing on the application software in use. In general, select 'Print' on the File menu to open the Print dialog box.
Select your printer model name and click 'Preferences' (or 'Properties'). The printer driver setup window appears.
On the Maintenance tab, click the 'Ink Cartridge Settings' icon.
On the Ink Cartridge Settings window, check the 'Ink Cartridge' drop-down to see what it is it set to.
To change Ink Cartridge to Black Only, click the 'Ink Cartridge' drop-down and select the option.
Click 'OK' on the Ink Cartridge Settings window.
Click 'OK' or the applicable button to print.
