HP Deskjet 930C, iMac DV+, OS X 10.1

I tried to print a document a few days ago and it was the first thing I printed after updating to 10.1. I saw that there is no option for printer quality (i.e. how much ink is used to print) - under 9 and 10.0.x there were options like draft, standard, high or something like that.

Are these the final drivers from HP or will the print quality feature return in a later version? Does anybody have a clue, if there's a hack to get back the draft option? I used draft a lot for things that need to be printed, but don't need high quality. Ink is so expensive, why waste it?

Simon,
is there any difference between your printer and my HP932c??????? Mine works fine with OSX10.1 and there is a utilitiy that tells me how much ink is left and everything. I seem not to be able to find it now but, look under users and whatever user you are under, then library and printers. It may be in there I not sure but, I know I have seen it someplace. You could always try HP's Web Site but, I doubt they will have anything as I think this is strictly stuff that Apple does for OSX. Never mind I knew I had it here someplace. Open your OSX drive, see something called Library???? Open that and go to printers. You will see HP so open that up. Once opened you will see utilities. Open that and you should see exactly what you are looking for. I just tried it so, I know it's exactly what you are asking for. Let me know if you need further help.

Thanks for the help CubieDubbie, but I think you misunderstood my question. Let me try to be more precise: I have the HP DeskJet Utility which lets me see how much ink is left in the cartridge, but I need the options for print quality that used to be in the print dialog. They used to be there under 9.x and 10.0.x, but not anymore under 10.1. I guess HP dropped them and I was hoping to here that they'll be back soon.
