Hi there,

The manual doesn't show where the menu button is on the mp150. I'd really love to know if there was a way to change the print settings to lowest quality so that the ink doesn't run out too quickly.

Anyone who helps me gets a virtual gold star!

*Edited because I forgot to add that I'm using a Mac OS X in case the settings are changed via software somehow.

Sorry, I don't know anything about MAC. I hope the printer GUI is the same as the Windows.

Windows OS:
Click on the property on the printer display. On the main tab, change the print quality to draft or fast.

I figured it out, in part thanks to your post. When you choose print, there is a tab that says Copies and Pages. Within that is the Quality option. You choose Detailed Setting, and then Fastest.

If I may add, it is clear that the people who come up with these manuals and drivers don't actually use them or test to see the info that's really important. RIDICULOUS!
