I on Win 2k.
I have an HP 932C printer.

I cannot get the settings:

"Start Printing from last page"
"Print quality - Draft"
"Print in GrayScale"

to stay put.

the driver is
Microsoft
11.14.1999
version - 5.0.2103.1

I have modified the settings from wordpad,
but they do not stick.

I have installed the HP printer driver

930-enu-win2k.exe
version 1.1

but the micrsoft driver is stil there.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thank You,

Larry
 
Some applications store the settings you choose with each document; some for
the application as a whole; and some not at all. My guess is that WordPad,
being worth every penny you paid for it, is in the third category.

Set the properties for the printer, itself, with the Settings ...
Printers... screen. That will make them the default systemwide.

I don't know about WordPad but I have had success with some programs
by creating a template in exactly the page and printer set-up I want
and saving it. Every time I used that program I opened the template,
did a document then saved (save as command) the doc under another name
(don't use the save command until you have changed the document name).

You can not get any settings to stick from a program application, they
are only used for the duration of that one session.

If you want them to stick, you must make the changes from the printer
driver directly.

Close all open programs, open the driver by opening Control Panel,
Printers, right-click on the default** HP printer driver and select
Properties, then tab over to the various settings in the driver and make
the changes you want to stick. Click OK to get back out and they should
now stick when you open your next application.

** The default can be changed by right-clicking on the one you want and
then selecting "set as default". The default printer will have a little
checkmark beside it.
