| 582875 | 2007-08-20 02:12:00 | I'd like to have several different printer settings for my Canon iP4300 - one for printing high quality colour photos, one for draft-quality in black only, one for standard colour etc. I've gone through the process of "add new printer" using the existing 4300 driver and assigning different print settings to each instance, but when I go to open the printer for a particular setting, my tweaks haven't stuck...so I have to re-enter them manually which sort of defeats the purpose of the excercise. What am I doing wrong? How can I get 'em to stick? Many thanks! |

| 582876 | 2007-08-20 02:54:00 | so after you have "added new printer" a few times, and named them each as different names - for instance "HQ_Photo", "Standard", "Draft" or whatever, have you then right clicked the icon and chose Properties and then set the print style/quality to the name you have given, and then saved the changes on that? | bevy121 (117) | ||

| 582878 | 2007-08-20 03:56:00 | Are you changing the settings in all the available places? Sometimes you need to make the changes in the Printer Properties under the Advanced tab - Printing Defaults and also on the General tab - Printing Preferences. |

| 582879 | 2007-08-20 04:34:00 | My Canon Pixma MP760 has "Profiles" in its printing preferences whereby I can set up what you are trying to achieve. Doesn't your printer's software have that? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
