Setup dialog.
Note: Most Windows applications allow you to select a
printer and a PPD, and thus all the options
included. Use the Use Document Settings option
when printing from these applications. Some
applications do not allow the selection of a PPD,
and thus all the options are not available. Specify
Settings will allow you to set the options as
desired.
