Help with draft printing on HP in 10.3

I've had an HP PSC 750 printer with scanner for several years. Worked fine in OS9, and 10.2. To save ink and speed printing time, I normally print in "draft" mode, and even set up a special setting with HP's built in software.

Ever since my conversion to 10.3.2, I can't seem to print in anything but the highest quality. My special setting still shows up as an option, but it has no effect. Futhermore, the ability to create special settings seems to be lost. The default setting seems to be the highest quality, and I can't find any way to change it.

Nothing on Apple or HP's website.

Anybody else have this problem?

Hi,

I also had some strange things happen with my HP printer when I went to 10.3.

Here's what solved the problem for me.

1. Open the Print Manager, and delete the printer.
2. Remove all printing preference files -- Go to ~/library/Preferences, and remove anything with the word "print" in it. (Save a copy of them first, if it makes you feel any better.)
3. Open the Print Manager, and add the printer.
4. Your "special settings" will be gone, but you should now be able to create them again.

Hope this helps.
