When I don't want the background, I typically just use the object touchup tool to delete the background. That may not be useful if you have a lot of pages. There is likely a script that can be used to delete the background.

thanks for your reply- however i do have many files to print and its just too much work. I was hoping that maybe there's a "print text only" or "no BG colors" comand hiding somewhere. didnt find it in the print menu, any ideas?
thanks so much.

If you authored the original PDF then you can use layers: like a gray layer set as non-printable and another layer containing all printable objects.
In Acrobat you can use the Background tool (Document >Background) to add a gray (non-printable) background in your PDF.
Also, the Print menu does have the option to "Print color as black".

FYI - Acrobat 9 Pro. has a Preflight Profile that will move text to a separate layer in the PDF, which means you can turn off the other layers and only print the text.
