hp photosmart 8450

The Vista build 5834 driver for the HP Photosmart 8450 has a glitch that when you choose in the printer settings to print in greyscale it does not print in greyscale...it worked once but then after that it always prints in color no matter what.
Any Photosmart 8450 owners using Vista have this type of problem?
My specs are: HP Pavilion ZD8000 Notebook, 2.8GHZ P4 w/ Hyperthreading, 2GB RAM, ATI X600 Video
I've tried disabling the printer and installing manually but still no go....also tried uninstalling and reinstalling driver still no go....last resort was re-installed Vista but that did not work either.

I hadn't noticed this until you said so... but yes, my 8450 is always printing in color too. --- tmike tmike at tmike your dot pants com (to email, remove your pants)

and, apparently, an error message stating that "your posting was unsuccessful" shouldn't be taken very seriously <g> --- tmike tmike at tmike your dot pants com (to email, remove your pants)
