Without seeing the driver involved it is hard for me to comment on this
specifically. I know some Epson drivers allow for you to select not
only paper type (and it is true that photo modes use more ink and make a
darker print on plain bond paper) but also print quality. Not
necessarily full resolution choices, but you can usually enhance the
plain paper printing for instance, to micro interleave, or whatever. It
will slow done the printing somewhat. The fastest modes are those that
print with every nozzles, moving line by line without any interlacing.
But they will also be the ones to show a clogged nozzle.
