First I thought the driver would be the isue, so updated to the lasted version without succes.

Until I found out that some budget HP printers do not have a gray scale option in the driver. So you don’t have to look any further, just buy an other mark or a more expensive HP.

I can only make up one reason they are doing this. Making more money on color cartridges.

Shame on HP.

Models that are affected (I cannot verify, please comment to confirm):

HP Deskjet 3*** (3420, 3520 etc)
HP PSC1*** series (1100, 1200, 1210 etc.)
