The Properties tab allows you to change the default printer settings.

NOTE: Regular users are able to override the system-wide default settings defined by the administrator. When a regular user clicks Apply, these custom settings will be saved in the user’s profile and may be used later with LLPR. If the administrator is running the configuration tool, then the settings will be saved as the new global defaults.

You can also open the LLPR Properties window in the following ways:

•From the Startup Menu icon at the bottom of the screen, select Linux Printer, and then Linux LPR.

•If the Linux Printer Configuration window is currently open, select Test Print from the Print menu.

The LLPR Properties window opens.

You will see the following six tabs at the top of the window:

General - allows you to change the paper size, the paper type, the paper source, the orientation of the documents, enable the duplex feature, add start and end banners, and change the number of pages per sheet.

Margins - allows you to specify the page margins. The graphics on the right show the current settings. These margins do not apply when printing regular PostScript data.

Image - allows you to set image options that will be used when printing image files, i.e., when a non-PostScript document is passed to LLPR on the command line. Color settings will also take effect for postscript documents.

Text - allows you to select the text density and turn the syntax coloring on or off.

HP-GL/2- allows you to set default options to print HP- GL/2 format documents, used by some plotters.

Advanced - allows you to override the default settings for the printer.

If you click the Save button at the bottom of the window, the options will be retained between LLPR sessions.

Use the Help button to view details about the options in the window.

To apply the options, click OK in the LLPR Properties

window. You will return to the Linux LPR window. To start printing, click OK.
