I take it you mean "draft" as in "text only" type....
There is an option in most Desk Top Word Processors using GS/OS..
e.g: AppleWorks GS, ShadowWrite NDA v1.3.3 have a selection of printing 
options....

It is normally selected when you have selected "Print" and a dialog of 
"Print Quality" will be around somewhere and all you have to do is click 
on that and a pop up menu will display...

"Draft" - is fairly fast and will print graphics as well as text..
"Text Only" - is just that....   Text Only!
              This is what I think you want and is VERY fast and 
basically like scanning something...but if you have Express v2.2 then you 
won't have to worry about time...as it will print in the background...
or if you have Multi-GS this will let you also print in the background..
Express v2.2 comes with GraphicWriter III (or it use to, by Seven Hills)
Multi-GS is FREEWARE and is a Multi-Tasking system.
