HP Deskjet 2778 printer driver issue

[hari419]

After installing the driver,  in the Printing Preferences there is no "apply" button. So while using a software like Tally, every time I have to go to the printer setup to change the printing preference like paper size, black only printing, draft mode etc.  Other wise, tally goes to the default factory setting. There is no such problem with Windows 7 driver in another PC.
