Changing a printer driver in the Printer Object
Once both the printer object and the printer driver have been installed, the correct printer
driver should be selected in the print object. This might also be necessary if using
different printer drivers with a single print object. To change to a different printer driver:
1. Right-click the Printer Object.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click the Printer Driver tab.
4. Double-click on the Title-bar icon.
The printer object is now set up to use a different printer driver. To customize the settings
for this printer driver, see “Changing the Printer Properties” or “Changing the Job
Properties.”
Changing the Printer Properties
A printer driver has settings called Printer Properties. Printer Properties describe how
a particular printer is physically set up. Examples of printer properties include the amount
of memory in a printer, forms defined by the printer, forms associated with the printer
paper trays, and installed printer patterns.
To set or change Printer Properties:
1. Point to the Printer Object. Right-click the Printer Object.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click the Printer Driver tab.
4. Select the printer driver, and then right-click the mouse button.
5. Click Settings.
6. Change the properties to match the printer setup.
7. Double-click on the title-bar icon.
The printer object is now set up to print a job. For information about how to print a job,
see the OS/2 Tutorial or the Information folder for information on printing.
Changing the Job Properties
A printer driver has settings called Job Properties. Job Properties describe how a
particular print job is printed. Examples of job properties include number of copies, print
resolution, print quality, color effects, and orientation (portrait or landscape). Applications
generally allow the selection of a printer object (sometimes referred to as a printer queue)
and they allow you to change the “Job Properties” associated with a particular job by
