How do I change the printer settings on my Color Laser Jet Pro M252dw printer?

[lonnie-19_72]

I'm learning to use my new Color Laser Jet Pro M252dw printer, but I can't figure out how to change any of the settings on the printer, such as change from portrait to landscape printing, change from color to black and white, or change from single-side to duplex printing.  Some more information or directions for operation would be most helpful in this matter.

Hi @lonnie-19_72,

I see that you would like to know how to change some settings on the  Color Laser Jet Pro M252dw. I would be happy to help you.

I have provided the manual for the Color LaserJet Pro M252. It will provide all the different settings available.

Here is the link to the printer's support page also. HP Color LaserJet Pro M252dw.

I need to find where or how to set landscape mode. I did a keyword search of the PDF you linked, and neither of the words "portrait" or "landscape" are even IN the document.  Nor do I find it in the printer options popup window when I want to print.  My printer (Color Laserjet Pro M252dw) does NOT automatically recognize the page orientation, as landscape is set in the WORD document and in the "page settings" dropdown menu.

The settings you are looking for are all in the driver dialog box instead of just clicking the print icon on the toolbar use the File menu and print option so the dialog box opens and you can choose the settings you want.

You can change the orientation by going to File, Print, Preferences and selecting the Finishing tab.
