Default printer settings

[Sanddmc]

How do I save these print settings as default 

 

[BeemerBiker]

I assume windows.

If you bring up Printers and Scanners you can set the default printer. 

Click to set the printer as the default

You should prevent windows from managing your printers. That way you will get  to choose how to print.

You can also set defaults such as the paper source that the feeder pulls from.

You can save as the default.  Alternately, you can install the driver a second time and and give it a name such as "double_sided_LJ" then set the default to double sided. To print double sided, select that printer from the list.
