Draft option greyed out

[Wessex]

Hi, I've just bought the MX725 printer and when I go to set the print options, the draft option is greyed out in the Media and Quality section.

I am using an Apple computer. My old printer option for draft printing was available but not this one.

Any reason for this?

Regards,
Peter

Any chance you were trying Draft ("Fast") with a photo paper setting?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately not; just ordinary copy paper.

Hello again. I've sorted out the problem.

I deleted the printer and then added it again. This time I used Canon IJ Network not bonjour which is AirPrint?

When I first added a printer the Canon IJ Network option doesn't display right away. So I clicked what was available (either my old defunct HP 8500 or the canon bonjour). This time the canon IJ option was presented and clicking that gave me an avatar of the MX725 and all the options including Fast, Standard, Slow or custom which now allows a much broader ability to choose my quality.

i hope this helps others. Just wait the 5 seconds or so for all printer options to display before clicking on one and the then go for the Canon IJ Network option.

Thanks to all for looking.

Good job, Wessex!
