Prin ting

This chapter covers printing, printer reports, and job cancelation. The Selection and handling of paper and specialty media can affect how reliably documents print.

Installing printer software

A printer driver is software that lets the computer communicate with the printer. The printer software is typically installed during the initial printer setup. For more information, see the Setup sheet or Setup Guide that came with the printer, or click Install printer and software on the Software and User's Guide CD.

When Print is chosen from a program, a dialog representing the printer driver opens. Click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup from the initial Print dialog to open Print Properties and see all of the available printer settings that may be changed. If a feature in Print Properties is unfamiliar, open the online Help for more information.

Note: Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the printer control panel.
