OfficeJet d135-- setting default printing quality to DRAFT

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Several months ago I called HP to see how I can default set the Print
Quality (under Preferences) to DRAFT. It is now default-set to
Normal. Of course, the (expensive) inks run out much quicker set to
Normal--and, for my purposes, Draft quality is just fine.

The rep said I had to manually go in and click Draft every time I
print a document. I have been doing that for quite a while now.
Isn't there some command line in some INI file that I can adjust to
default the preference to "DRAFT" ??

I'm a beginning to intermediate user, so I'm looking for the specific
steps to take. Thanks much in advance. Brad

That was too easy ! Thank you, Bob !
Now, why couldn't HP tell me those steps (above) when I called ?
Obviously ink profits are at stake here . . .
