Solved: I chose eco mode (less ink) for one print job. Now printer ... - HP Support Community

I chose eco mode (less ink) for one print job. Since then printer defaults to this, and some programs (eg. picasa) won't let me choose normal print mode, and I often forget to choose normal. How can I permanently cancel eco or return printer to original setting? Printer operates on wireless. Thank you.

In Windows 7 click Start, Devices and Printers, right-click on the Laserjet P1102w, select Printing Preferences. Select the defaults you want, Apply, OK.

Many thanks, Bob. Solution works a treat. I should have thought of that, but then I didn't know what the magic right click can do in this context. (I also spent time hunting for the 'Accept as solution' button, not realising that you had to sign in before it appears! I learn something new every day.)
