If that's the case, then it's no wonder my HP tells me 2 months in
advance.....I always use draft mode and 300x300
Which really really stretches the ink...Default mode is an ink hog.....why
use it when draft is better than the old Hi Quality we used on the old
impact printers.....that's been a mere 10 - 13 years ago....
