We had to do the same thing in DocuComp, and we used the techniques
outlined in Tech Note #95.  The Draft Mode button is Item #8 in the
ImageWriter PrJobDialog.  Hilite it as Inactive.  In the MyDlgInit procedure
this would entail (in Pascal):

  if PrintHdl^^.PrStl.wDev = BitShift(bDevCItoh,8) { Imagewriter.. }
    then begin
      GetDItem(PrintDlg, 8, Junk, H, ItemRect);  { Draft printing btn.. }
      HiliteControl(ControlHandle(H), Inactive);
    end;
