Setting Printer Options for Output: PASW 18

Heidi Green

Hello!

I’m trying to print a client report today, and my general printer default options for all programs is 2-sided, black & white (to conserve paper/save ink). I am trying to print this report in color, single sided (because the print preview in PASW 18 always seem to show a blank first page for me). When I highlight the output that I want to print and hit File, Page Setup, Printer, Properties, and change the settings to single sided, color, OK...then back to the File/Print menu and tell it to print, it always comes out 2-sided black & white. The changes that I made during page setup are not being held until I actually hit the print button. (And there is no print button on the page setup screen).

 

Then I tried changing my default printer options (through the control panel), and now when I hit print, nothing happens at all (no print output emerges).

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

I’m going to start panicking soon, as my report is due in a few hours…!

 

Thanks for any tips that may come my way,

-Heidi
