[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 622392, member: 50033"] Depending on the application, it can be a little tricky to find, but you are looking for a tab called "Paper Type/Quality". Every application puts it in a different place. To get you started, here's where it is in Safari... 1. Select File > Print 2. Next to the name of your printer should be a little arrow. Click on the arrow to expand the print selection box. 3. Midway down is a selection box which defaults to "Safari". Click on this and select "Paper Type/Quality". If it isn't there, then you may have a driver issue. You'll need the driver specific to your printer. The Gutenprint 5.1.3 (or whatever the number is) that Apple supplies doesn't usually give you an option to print black & white, draft, etc. It's very limited. Also, you can have this problem if you're trying to use a print server. The Mac sees the print server instead of the printer attached to it and wants to use a generic driver. See if any of this helps. If not, tell us exactly what you have and how it's connected, and we'll go from there. [/QUOTE]
