Product: HP Officejet Pro 8630
Operating System: macOS 10.12 Sierra

I've recently gotten a new Macbook Pro with OS 10.12.4 (Sierra), and have downloaded the latest HP "Easy Start" to install the latest printer software and drivers.  However, when printing a .pdf document, that is in color, I am unable to print it in Black & White (or grayscale), even though I select that in my printing options.  It seems like I can select grayscale and the printer will print it in black & white, when printing other color documents (such as a Word document that has color).  Is this a bug in Sierra or in the 8630 printer driver?  I used to be able to print a color .pdf document, in grayscale or Black & White, before obtaining this new Macbook Pro with OS 10.12.4.  (My previous computer, that I could do this on, was an old 2009 Macbook (white case) running Mountain Lion OS.  Thanks for your help.
