Change default print shortcut

Since I could find no answer to jengwork (31/08/2010), I'm assuming that modify an existing shortcut print or define a new shortcut, and makes it the default value is not possible.  I would like to have the default shortcut be a black and white print.  Is there a way to do this?

    I encountered the same problem with my HP F4280 All in one and figured out what the problem was.  I am using Windows 7 then the following steps work for this OS well its probably similar for Vista users.

    Click the Pearl icon (Start), and then click devices and printers

    Double-click your printer icon to open the HP Center

    Under Printer Actions, click on customize it your printer link

    Click the Advanced tab

    Click on the button to default print (lower-left)

    If you haven't already done so, create a custom shortcut in changing one of the default settings of HP and then choose Save as

    Choose your shortcut in the list, and then press the button apply

    Press OK and you get back to the center of HP

    Close the center of HP (X in the upper right corner)

    However, this is where I ran into problems... If the program you are printing from is currently open (Photoshop in my case) the default print settings will NOT change until you restart the program. Restart your program (Web browser, Photoshop, paint etc) and now your default print settings should be updated to use your custom default shortcut.

    I hope this will help some of you who have had problems.

  • How to set default printing shortcut or change standard ones

    I have a LaserJet 2420d with the PCL 5 driver.  Whenever I print, it uses the default paper shortcut that is "General printing every day."  This built-in shortcut specifies a type of "Pre-printed", so the printer breaks waiting for pre-printed paper inserted until I press the check mark button.

    I can create a custom form that has solved the problem, but I don't know how to make my custom form by default for the printer.  Furthermore, if I could change the type of paper for the 'General everyday printing' and save it, it would solve the problem.

    So how set my default paper form shortcut or change the standard one?

    Furthermore, the who Devil set by default to use paper pre-printed paper?

    Open your printers and Faxes folder, right click on the printer icon and select Printing Options. and any changes made here will be defined as a default value.

    Hello Bill,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    It seems that what you want to do is to save your settings as a preset favorite. Not exactly define value by default, but easier than manually make changes every time you print. Take a look at this article to find out how that is done.
