Hi All.
Just picked up a new printer for the home and was suprised to find the draft print option on my macbook is greyed out?
Draft is an available option on my W10 PC.
Using Normal the colours are far more saturated than the normal on my previous Canon printer so concerned I'll be using more ink than necessary for regular printing and would really like the option for draft printing
The printer is installed with airprint driver, only options available are Secure Airprint and Airprint.
Googled it and saw a similar thread on here which suggested installing a non airprint driver.
Installed using the setup app, but it just uses the airpint drivers?
Emailed Canon support and this is their response, which I don't accept given every printer I've EVER used has had a draft print option, including my PC...
Draft quality, draft view, or draft mode is a feature found on many older printers where they would lower print quality and saturation as a “test” version of a printed document.
The PIXMA TS8150 is a high-quality photography printer and doesn’t include a “draft mode”, which would be greyed out in the print dialog box with only “normal” and “best” accessible.
Instead of a “draft mode”, the printer will use a specific PGBK (pigmented black) ink tank for lower quality or text printing and switch to the BK (keystone black, dye-based) ink tank for high quality photographic resolution.
To limit ink use and print quality you can select “normal” print quality and reduce resolution to the lowest value (usually 300dpi) for photo prints, but text documents would be set at a standard quality.
Any ideas/Advice?
Thanks
