Is it possible to change the printer's default quality to draft?
I am using Windows XP, Microsoft Word Program, and a Dell Photo AIO Printer
922. Everytime I start up the computer and try to print the default setting goes to normal. I would like to change the default setting to "Draft and have the last page print first." If anyone has a solution it would be very much appreciated. Thank you. |

Is it possible to change the printer's default quality to draf
Thanks for replying. Yes I have changed the settings to draft. But each time
I start up the computer, the default setting changes it back to normal. A solution is that I could just leave my computer on all the time. But I am not too comftorable with that. I have tried to erase the default setting but it states it as locked. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Have you changed these settings in the printer Properties? -- Suzanne S.

What is your operating environment? Are you in a corporate situation? On a
network? Is the printer on a network? You should be able to choose the default settings of your default Windows printer, or at least for the driver installed locally. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
I am working with my home computer, not a network. It is a Dell computer and a Dell Printer. I click printproperties - then a new window appears as the Dell's printer propertiesI change the settings to draftClick Apply Next time I start up the computer the printer properties go back to the default settings.

Is it possible to change the printer's default quality to draf
Select Windows control panel printers add a printer. Install a
duplicate of your printer and from there set its property to draft. Name the printer something memorable like "Dell Draft Printer". You can then choose which printer to send your output to from Word using the method suggested at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm Alternatively simply set the properties of the original printer driver from Control panel Printers - but then it will be draft for all applications. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Moonbeam wrote: Hi Suzanne, I am working with my home computer, not a network.

As Graham says, you need to do this through Windows Control Panel | Printers
rather than through Word's Print dialog if you want the changes to apply to the default printer settings. -- Suzanne S.
