Naaaaah.  That's what I would have done.  I'm not sure how to handle it for
that printer, though.  But here's two suggestions:

1. Run printconf and see if that gives you any options for the driver
(printconf-tui if you're in console mode).  I have a
deskjet-something-or-other and printconf *does* have an option for print
quality (draft, normal or presentation) if you dig deep enough editing the
driver options.

2.  Check http://www.linuxprinting.org - not only is it a great site with
how-to docs and more, but there's a forum.  So you can ask a human there.

Best!
