Stuck with Line weight B/w tone shade

I have configured my pen settings so that the line weights correspond to the values shown in Image 1.

For Pen Number 1, I want to maintain the same thin line width (0.1 mm) but distinguish between different elements using color shades (Light Gray and Dark Gray).

However, when I print the drawing, all lines assigned to the 0.1 mm pen appear with the same ink intensity (solid black). How can I configure the settings so that lines of the same thickness print in different shades of gray?

 

 

Operating system used: Windows 11

Does it show coloured on the Layout?

1. Print settings are set to full colour

2. Drawing settings on your Layout are set to "By Pen Set" or the relevant one with your colours

3. The View that is placed on your Layout is assigned the Pen Set with the colours you are wanting.

Sounds like you want it to be Greyscale, not Black & White. I have not used the print dialogue Black & White option before, but by the looks of it, it works the same as the Drawing Tools Black & White option...
