How "intelligent" is the PDF (ISO) standard: Capable of detecting a BW-printer and adapting accordingly?

Question

With this question (of 2010) as a starting point, is there a way to generate a colourful PDF file (via *TeX) such that it would always be printed in black-and-white, iff the printer can't print colours (a black-and-white printer)?

In other words: How "intelligent" is the PDF (ISO) standard?

See ISO_32000-1 and also here.

Edit

The upshot of this "exercise" is not for printing on your own office or home printer, but when you dispatch/publish/release a document and don't know how others on their (unknown) printers will print your carefully crafted document.

Answer 1

PDF is a format of document. So it may not be "intelligent". The PDF standard can not include two different versions of the document (one for color printing and one for printing in black and white).
