set the defaults on your printer
Your printer comes with default settings for features such as number of copies to
print, photo size, language setting for the LCD screen, and other settings. You
can change these settings to your preferences using the printer’s control panel.
Note: When you print from your computer, the control panel settings on the
printer do not apply. The software on your computer overrides the default
settings you set using the printer’s control panel.
For more information about other default setting options available from the
control panel, see the HP Photosmart Printer Help. For more information about
viewing the printer help, see view the hp photosmart printer help on page 2.
