Time Saving Printing Tips |
We know that time is money and we want to give you along with great savings on ink & toner cartridges, ways to save on time, reason why we want you to answer the following question:
Because we don’t always need to use draft mode or printing pictures is an exception rather than the rule. Do you find yourself adjusting your printer settings a lot?
Well, if that’s seems to be your problem, have we got a tip for you!
Instead of changing settings back and forth all the time, install your printer a second time - with different settings. Then, all you need to do is select the second version or regular version of the printer from the print dialog box. It is definitely a lot faster. Here are the steps:
To install your printer twice, just go to the Printers folder under your Start button, Settings, Printers (for XP users, under the Control Panel).
2) Click the Add Printer icon and install the printer as you normally would. Oh, here's a little shortcut - You should be able to pick your printer from the list the wizard provides and not need to dig out your printer driver disks. And don't worry - you can install the same printer twice without any problem.
3) When it comes time to name the printer give it a different, probably more descriptive, name.
4) You can also re-name the original printer if you like. Just right-click it and select "rename" from the resulting menu, for example the original HP-Color and the new one HP-Draft
5) Finally, while you're still in the Printers folder, put in your custom settings for each printer by Right-clicking the printer you want to modify and selecting Properties from the resulting menu. This is where you set the printers up for color, draft, b&w, etc.
The procedure varies from printer to printer, but it's never too hard. Just play around with the tabs and buttons until you find the settings you want to change. |
