My printer works, but settings cannot be corrected since I changed to Windows 10

[LJ1049]

Since I changed my computer to Windows 10, I have had problems with my printer settings. I have changed to default with colour and automatic print on both sides but it keeps returning to monochrome and I can only print on both sides manually.

I keep attempting to change, but it reverts back to the same.

I tried downloading a different driver for my printer and it reverted back to the same issue. If I copy and sometimes for printing I can print colour and so I think it is within the settings as printer appears to be fine.

I cannot find a definitive description of the action - I would guess, based on the documentation, that the printer supports both setting the Preferences (presets for jobs submitted to the printer) and the creation of Preferences > creating Custom Shortcuts for print jobs.  The printer does support Custom Shortcuts for Scan - that it also supports this feature for Print is hopefully the case.

Load the paper to be used for the job and then tell the printer control panel about the paper setup.
