2 set the defaults on your printer

Your printer comes with default settings for features such as number of copies to print, photo size, language setting for the LCD screen, and other settings. You can change these settings to your preferences using the printer’s control panel.

Note: When you print from your computer, the control panel settings on the printer do not apply. The software on your computer overrides the default settings you set using the printer’s control panel.

For more information about other default setting options available from the control panel, see the HP Photosmart Printer Help.
