[Feature Request] Printout Mode GUI control update

Asked by oryan_dunn

It is quite confusing that there is a "Printout Mode" dropdown under the general heading, and a Printout Mode heading with a "Quality" dropdown. Instead of all of these dropdowns, why not have the dropdown in the general heading with a few preset options (with black+color cart) eg.
"Draft (grayscale, black cart)"
"Draft (color, black+color cart)"
"Normal (grayscale, black cart)"
"Normal (color, black+color cart)"
"High (grayscale, black cart)"
"High (color, black+color cart)"
"Photo (color, black+color cart)"
"Custom"
If the user selects custom, then ungray the "Printout Mode" controls. Have a dropdown for the DPI, a dropdown for the type of paper, and a radio group (or checkboxes) for the cartridges to use (black, color, photo[if available]) and an option for Borderless (Full bleed makes it sound like it is going to suck all the ink out of my cartridge).

With the current setup, it is quite confusing, as I don't know when i pick an option in the general that says color cart and doesn't mention the black cart, then I pick a different mode in the quality dropdown that has both black and color cart, if I am actually getting ink from both carts (i have a psc 1315v).
