Hi. I am new to this forum, and have very recently switched from pc to an iMac.
I have installed drivers for the above, can print in colour, but not in B&W.
Please help and advise.
Thanks...

Please elaborate on your problem. You haven't included enough information to try and troubleshoot the problem.

Are you selecting "black and white" or "grayscale" in the print options and/or print setup dialogs before you print?

After selecting print, drop down to "Paper Type/Quality", then select "Grayscale" as shown in the attached.

HP 1510 B&W Print

Thanks both !!
I can print in grayscale now, however, the print menu I have shows "Paper Type/Quality" in a bar, only when I click "expand" delta arrow. This is then shown in another drop down menu which starts as "Safari" (sorry, I do not know how to attach file picts. of this).
This bar defaults to Safari despite attempts to change. I'd like default to be grayscale/fastdraft, but I don't know........
Any ideas?
Thanks again!!

Have you tried printing from applications other than Safari?

HP 1510 B&W Print

The only other applications I've printed from are Apple Mail, Pages and Numbers.
If there is no color in docs., no problem. Otherwise colors print in Mail, and both the Pages & Numbers App. closes when I go File/Print.
Neither gives me any B&W option.

Have you tried setting up a "Preset"...in essence, set up everything you want for a type of printing you want (high quality, draft quality, color, insanely warm, low ink, fast draft grayscale, whatever), then "save as" a preset. It may be that a predefined or default preset keeps bringing you back to Safari.

No, I have not done this.
The "preset" bar pop-up on my unit shows "standard", "last used settings" and then 8 "Photo" options only. No grayscale. As I have said, I do not know how to add "links" to this message (as above...picture 1.pdf) so this can be seen.
Perhaps software downloaded from HP is a fault? Wrong one?
