Works fine on a colour laser here.

Try converting to grayscale.

A .psd file is the default photoshop format which I take your using?

Image > Mode > Grayscale

btw any tips on how to make the black and white better? I did it via image adjustments black and white

Yes, but it's in RGB format, which means the printer will probably use some colour ink in the print out.

Changing this to grayscale should ensure only black ink is used.

It looks as if it's using some cyan ink in the photo in the original post.

I always use Image > Adjustments > Levels.
