HP PageWide Pro 477dw
macOS 10.14 Mojave

I have a HP PageWide Pro 477dw and on the print menu there is no Black&White option to print. I am able to print documents black and white if

 

1. I click Show Details

2. Under Paper Type/Quality, click Color Options, and then select Grayscale.

 

But my issue is, I don't see the Black&White option right away.

 

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like:

Remember, I've found these pictures on this forum. My printer is HP PageWide Pro 477dw but I have the exact same issue as shown in these pictures. I've found several thread on this forum with people having the same issues. I want to clarify that I can indeed print my documents black and white but not with this check box shown in the second picture. On another Mac, this Black&White option appears but not on my MacBook.

 

I have already reset my Mac printing system and re-added the printer after restarting the system. I've already read through several threads here such as these:

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Archive-Read-Only/How-to-use-Black-catridges-only-when-color-...

 

But none of these threads have a solution to my problem. The only solution I've found is the workaround to print black and white I described in the beginning of this post.

 

I'd appreciate any further help. Thanks in advance!
