HP LaserJet P2030 Series - Software Technical Reference

Change the Windows print driver settings
You can use software to control print jobs from several places:
●
Software-program print-dialog box
●
Print-driver user interface
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, the media input tray
from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over print-
driver settings. Print-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings.
Software-program print-dialog box
To gain access to the print-driver settings from within most software programs, follow these steps:
1. Click File.
2. Click Print.
3. Click Properties.
The appearance and names of the driver tabs can vary, depending on the operating system. These
driver settings apply only while that software program is open.
Print-driver user interface
Control the drivers directly from the Printers folder for access to two sets of driver tabs: the Printing
Preferences tabs and the Properties tabs. The settings on the Printing Preferences driver tabs control
the default driver settings for each user's profile. The settings on the Properties driver tabs control
installable options configurations.
Printing Preferences driver tabs
The Printing Preferences driver tabs change the default settings that are used across all software
programs. To gain access to these tabs, follow these steps:
1. For Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers.
For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (using the default Start menu view), click Start, and
then click Printers and Faxes.
For Windows Vista, click Start, click Control Panel, and then under Hardware and Sound click
Printer.
2. Right-click the product name.
3. Click Printing Preferences.
The following Printing Preferences print-driver tabs are available:
●
Advanced
●
Paper/Quality
