Printing Preferences control all of your print jobs unless you override them for a specific job at the time
of printing. When you print from a software application, the printer uses the print job settings specified
in the driver Properties dialog box. The driver Properties dialog box gets defaults from the settings in
the driver’s Printing Preferences. You can select your most commonly-used printing options and save
them as defaults so that you do not have to select them every time you print. For example, if you want
to use automatic 2-sided printing for most jobs, set this option in the Printing Preferences dialog box.

To select printing preferences:
