Greetings all,

I have a Brother MFC-440CN multi function printer. I've been using Macs for about 1yr. I'm having difficulties in changing the print quality settings. I know in the Windows world you can select different qualities (ie. draft, normal, best, photo, etc...) is there a way to select different qualities in the OS X world? I'm trying to print a photo from iPhoto but it comes out grainy. The printer is giving me problems printing from the internal photo printing feature. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I wouldn't recommend this printer to any Mac users.

It'll depend on the printer driver having been written to support it, but for HP printers, these settings are found in this menu (on Leopard) in the Print dialogue:



This brings up these options:



I would assume Brothers have something equivalent, and earlier versions of OS X if you are running one, have a similar menu.

thanks. It must be in the drivers. Again, I don't recommend this printer for mac users.
