I just installed hp8715 and am not able to print in draft mode even when economy printing is selected.  Any help is appreciated.

Hi! @charsl, Thanks for getting back to us.

I understand you have issues printing in draft mode from your printer.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

As you mentioned you have issues printing in draft mode from your printer.

Try the steps recommended below.

Please try the steps recommended.

Change a document’s paper size
You can specify the paper size when you print.

Choose File > Print. If the Print dialog has a Paper Size menu, choose a size.

In apps such as Pages or Microsoft Word, you can also specify a page size for a document. When you print, the document is already formatted to fit the paper size you selected. However, you can choose to scale the document to fit your printer’s paper. To set the document’s page size, choose File > Page Setup, then choose a size from the Paper Size menu.

In most apps, the Paper Size menu has a Manage Custom Sizes option. 

Set the default paper size
If you usually print on a particular size of paper, you can set it as the default paper size, so it’s used whenever you print. (You can still change the paper size in the Print dialog if you need to.)

The default size is also used as the page size whenever you create a new document in an app, such as Pages. Changing the default size affects only new documents; it doesn’t change previously created documents.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.

Click the “Default paper size” pop-up menu, then choose a paper size.

Manually feed paper when you print
You can choose to manually feed paper when you print instead of using the printer’s default paper tray (if your printer supports this capability).

Choose File > Print.

If you see a Show Details button, click it.

Click the print options pop-up menu (within the separator bar), then choose Paper Feed.

Click the All Pages From the button, then choose Manual Feed from the pop-up menu.
 
Now, try and change the print quality by going to Presets – Paper type/quality. You should get the “Draft” option now.
