Good Basic Printer, but missing basic features.

I researched printers carefully to replace our maddening HP 6500. The HP driver often would not
Install on guest computers, had barely used expensive ink cartridges expiring, and had a fragile paper feed and print head.

The j985 installed easily, but it lacks a "fast draft" mode to save time and ink. This basic miss alone may eliminate the ink savings I was expecting. Its only color mode seems to be an in-between setting. On standard paper it was slightly lower quality and faster than the 5 year old HP at its best setting, but much slower than the HP's perfectly legible fast draft. For classroom or volunteer handouts or printing something to read, it's fine, but it falls short for producing business quality presentations and wastes time and ink on drafts. Have not done photos, but I am skeptical that it will meet our expectation that a 2016 printer would beat a 2010 from the same price range. If it had fast draft modes and bigger paper feed and output trays, it would be much better.
