I recently installed Windows 7 and am profiling my 2400.  When I print the high quality target plus gray there's no paper set up for the printer.  I want to set up the type of paper and quality of print (no ICC management of course) but all I get is the basic page set up for portrait or landscape and when I print it's at a high speed.  How can I have more control on the paper set up?

Thanks,

Tom Husband

Hi Tom:

You're looking in the wrong place for those settings. You're "at" the  
page setup
screen, but you need to select paper type, output quality, and color  
management
in a different place: in the printer preferences/properties.

(This has nothing to do with us; what you're seeing is the standard  
Windows
series of dialogs for printer configuration; we don't have any control  
over
how all of that works).

Look for the button that gets you into printer prefs/properties and  
you'll see
the things you need to click on there.

No, it's not. Like I said: we don't have any control over the printer  
setup
and interface from inside Spyder3Print; we just call a system level  
function
which puts up the dialog and gives you all the choices.

You should be getting a dialog AFTER the one the comes up, which asks  
you
about page setup properties, which gives you a list of printers  
installed
on your system; and then when you select a printer, there should be a  
button
that gets you into where you need to make those settings changes.

There's going to be no difference between how all of this works when  
you're
printing from inside of Spyder3Print, vs. what happens when you print  
from
any other WIndows application.
