Hi folks,
I have a troubling situation concerning printer profiles in Windows 10 and I didnt figure out if it is printer or Os related. I created custom printing profiles in Windows 10:
- DIN A4, duplex, color
- DIN A3, non-duplex, B/W
I configured also the paper tray settings in the printer settings menu (Tray1: DIN A4, Tray2: DIN A3), but the settings wont be saved switching the paper size. Example: I am printing a DIN A3 document and the following document is DIN A4. After switching from DIN A3 profile to DIN A4 profile the paper size is still DIN A3. Has anybody experienced this problem too?
OS: Windows 10 64bit
Printer: HP OfficeJet 7740
Printing Software: Adobe Acrobat DC
Kind regards,
Daniel
