Installing the Printer Driver Chapter 2
2. Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
Making general settings before using the printer
The printer driver requires setting items that are common to all print jobs, including the port to which the printer is connected and any optional devices configured with the machine. These settings must be made using tabs available in a Properties dialog box after the printer driver has been installed or whenever the operating environment changes.
The most common settings were made when the printer driver was installed, so you do not usually need to change them. Some items must, however, be changed in the following cases.
