There are several ways to change the default printer settings depending on the operating system:

1.Click Start, Settings, Printers, and then right-click the printer icon and click Properties.

2.Click Start, Control Panel, and then select the Printers folder. Right-click the printer icon and click Properties.

To avoid affecting print jobs of other users, make printer setup changes through the software application or the printer driver whenever possible. Printer setup changes made through the control panel become default settings for subsequent jobs. Changes made through an application or the printer driver affect only that specific job.
