Can't change presets on mac with 1765nfw color laser printer

I tried downloading and installing the only download available for this product on their support site, but it still doesn't allow me to change any of the presets and I get no options at all in the print dialog screen. The print quality is very poor despite full color levels.


Anyone know what the deal is?
