Changing a printer driver in the printer object
Once both the printer object and the printer driver have been installed, the correct printer driver should be
selected in the print object. This might also be necessary if using different printer drivers with a single
print object. To change to a different printer driver:
1. Right-click the Printer object.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click the Printer Driver tab.
4. Double-click the Title bar icon.
The printer object is now set up to use a different printer driver. To customize the settings for this printer
driver, see "Changing the printer properties" or "Changing the job properties."
Changing the printer properties
Printer properties describe how a particular printer is physically set up. Examples of printer properties
include the amount of memory in a printer, forms defined by the printer, forms associated with the printer
paper trays, and installed printer patterns.
To set or change printer properties:
1. Point to the Printer object. Right-click the Printer object.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click the Printer Driver tab.
4. Select the printer driver, and then right-click the mouse button.
5. Click Settings.
6. Change the properties to match the printer setup.
7. Double-click the title bar icon.
The printer object is now set up to print a job. For information about how to print a job, see the OS/2
tutorial or the information folder for information about printing.
Changing the job properties
Job properties describe how a particular print job is printed. Examples of job properties include number of
copies, print resolution, print quality, and orientation (portrait or landscape). Applications generally allow
the selection of a printer object, and they allow you to change the job properties associated with a
particular job by selecting setup or options buttons. Under certain conditions, it is appropriate to change
job properties outside of an application, such as when performing drag-and-drop printing.
To change the default job properties associated with a printer object outside of an application:
1. Right-click the Printer object.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click the Job Properties tab.
4. Change the properties.
5. Click Save.
The default job properties associated with a printer object are now set up. For more information about
how to print a job, see the OS/2 tutorial or the information folder.
