HP LaserJet Pro MFP - Change print-job settings (Mac OS X)

Priority for changing print-job settings

Changes to print settings are prioritized depending on where the changes are made:
note:
The names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software program.
  • Page Setup dialog box: Click Page Setup or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed here might override settings changed anywhere else.
  • Print dialog box: Click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command on the File menu of the program you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box.
  • Default printer driver settings: The default printer driver settings determine the settings used in all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog boxes.
  • Product control-panel settings: Settings changed at the product control panel have a lower priority than changes made anywhere else.
