Change the print speed or quality
The HP Deskjet automatically chooses a print quality and speed setting depending on
the paper type setting you select. You can also change the print quality setting to
customize the speed and quality of the print process.
Print quality settings
• Fast Draft produces draft-quality output at the fastest printing speed, while using the
least amount of ink.
• Normal provides the best balance between print quality and speed and is appropriate
for most documents.
• Best provides the best balance between high quality and speed and can be used for
high quality prints. For most documents, the Best setting prints more slowly than the
Normal setting.
NOTE: For maximum dpi quality, go to the Advanced tab, and then select
Enabled from the Maximum dpi drop-down list. For more information, see
