You can choose between four print modes from the printer driver, from 
WebAccess, or from the printer's front panel (see 
how do I select the print 
quality?). Here is a summary of the characteristics of each print mode.
From the printer driver only, you can also select the Enhanced IQ option, 
which will in general give you some increase in quality (as shown below) and 
some decrease in speed.

1.  The highest printing resolution of 1200 × 600 dpi is available with 
glossy paper only.

specific HP paper types (see 
how do I select production mode?).
3.  If you select Max Speed and Enhanced IQ, Production mode will be 
used.

and printing materials, see
