Hi

I have just bought a HP Deskjet 1050a and I'm having the same problem changing the print quality to Draft.

I've followed pcwizard's advice and installed a 990c printer etc but when I try to print I just get an error on the 990c.

My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Hi AVFC1982,

Restart your computer, and then try printing again using the 990c driver. Let me know what you find out?

Hi pcwizard

I restarted my computer as you recommended and I can now print in draft mode using the 990c on my 1050a.

However, the documents are still coming out in bold print instead of (as I would expect from my previous epson printers) faded (draft) print. 

Can you help?

Hi AVFC1982,

The draft mode doesn't use that much less ink than using the normal mode printing. We can't compare the printing from an Epson printer to the HP as the software and firmware would not even be the same. If you are in fast draft mode the printer will print a little faster than if you were in Best mode. I hope this has helped explain the difference in print modes.

Ok. Thanks pcwizard.

It looks like I'll have to return the printer in that case as I print alot of documents for my work and it'll cost me a fortune in ink.

Hi AVFC1982,

You should not have to pay a fortune on ink even if you are printing in normal mode. Below is some additional information about the page yield of a ink cartridge. You can also check into the following program below which will save you money on ink supplies. Let me know if you need any additional assistance?

My Print Rewards

HP publishes page yield data based on the industry standard for measuring cartridge yields (ISO/IEC 24711). Under the ISO 24711 testing guidelines, a standard set of five 8 1/2 x 11 pages are printed continuously until the cartridge reaches end-of-life. For a variety of reasons, these testing conditions may not reflect what you experience in everyday use. ISO standard page yields therefore should be used only as a starting point for comparison purposes, and not to predict the actual yield you will get from your HP printer and cartridge. Actual yield varies considerably based on the content of printed pages, frequency of printing, and other factors. Click here for more information about page yield and ink volume.
