Once you have the 990c printer added make sure it is the default printer, and then try printing to your Deskjet 1050 printer using this driver.

Hi 3absiso, 

 

When you are printing in draft mode the printer will print faster than when you are in normal mode. Do you notice a change in print speed when you have draft selected?

I will see those steps.

but the quastion is why the printing quality options are off?

HP Recommended

Hi 3absiso, 

 

The print quality options are not turned off. There is not a hugh difference in speed between draft and normal. May not be able to tell the difference. If you select Best you should see that the print quality settings are in fact turned on. Let me know what you find out?
