Q: print option missing --draft
After a recent purchase of a mac mini with Mountain Lion, I find that my print quality options no longer contain "draft." This was an option I frequently used in order to save ink.
I have a Canon MX 712 with all available updates installed. Is there a way I can once again print drafts?
I have a mac mini OSX10.8.2

Select the one showing Canon IJ Network.

Use options did have AirPrint on my second try and I chose that. However the print options still were draft (grey unavailable).
Selecting Canon IJ Network should set the Use menu to Canon MX710 Series. If it shows AirPrint, change it to Canon MX710 Series.
Note that the AirPrint driver is the one that does not give you the options. So that is why you should select Canon MX710 Series.
