Access to drivers
To gain access to driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print, and then
click Properties. The appearance and names of the driver tabs that appear can vary, depending on the
operating system. These settings apply only while the software program is open.
You can also control the drivers directly from the Printers folder. These settings change the default
settings used across all software programs.
■ In Windows 2000, click Start, click Settings, click Printers, right-click the printer name, and then
click Printing Preferences to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program
controls.
■ In Windows XP, click Start, click Printers and Faxes (Windows XP Professional) or Printers and
Other Hardware Devices (Windows XP Home) to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that
the software program controls.
If, after right-clicking the printer name, you click Properties, you gain access to a different set of tabs
that control the driver behavior and driver connections. For information about the Properties tabs that
are described in this chapter, see the following sections.
