hp LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw.
When Using Adobe Acrobat to Create from scanner, only WIA driver seems to work properly. Acrobat insists on "Show Scanner's user interface" option. This pops up:
I don't know if this is an Adobe or hp interface, but I'd like to change the default page size shown here- Legal- to Letter.
Then I would be happy.
I can't seem to locate the default settings. Any clues?
Thx
