How to change printer settings on mac

When you want to change printer settings on a Mac, it's important to know what the different types of printers are. If you have an inkjet or laser printer that prints in color, then your best option is to use AirPrint from Apple devices.

You can also print using Google Cloud Print from any device with a web browser and internet connection.

There are other options available for printing if these don't work well for you such as WiFi Direct Printing which allows wireless connections between two compatible machines without requiring a network or FTP server in-between them.

I'm sure you've seen the message that pops up when you print certain documents on your Mac. It's usually an alert about printing in draft mode, which is not your best option for creating professional-looking prints.

The good news is that there are advanced settings to choose from which will give you more control over how your document prints out so it looks great! This blog post will show you how to find and change these settings so they work for all of your printing needs.

Change the default print settings on a Mac

The default settings on a Mac can be changed to print faster and more efficiently. This is especially useful if the printer has a monthly quota for printing. It will take less time to hit that quota, so there will be no penalties or extra charges.

The process of changing these settings is easy enough for anyone who feels comfortable with their computer, and it only takes about five minutes at most.

The article goes into detail about how to change the defaults by clicking "System Preferences" after opening up the "Printing & Scanning" menu from the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. Once you're in System Preferences, click on Printer Options under Hardware; this will bring up all of your printers listed.

I've been using my Mac for the past few years and I was always in love with how easy it is to print when you need to. But, I recently found out that there are different options when printing on a Mac than what I had originally thought.

For example, if you want your documents printed in color, but don't have much money to spend or just want to save some time, there's an option for that! It's called "Printing in Grayscale" and can be found under the General tab of the Print dialog box. This blog post will outline all the changes that can be made before printing on a Mac.

Where are printing preferences on a Mac?

Controls for printing are not always in the same place on a Mac. Printing preferences can be found by clicking the Apple icon in the upper left-hand corner of your screen, then clicking "System Preferences" and selecting "Print & Scan" from the list.

From here, you will have access to all of your printer settings. If you're looking for more specific printing options, click "Options & Supplies" at the bottom right side of this window. You'll find tabs to adjust print quality or choose paper size before sending it off to print.

Printing preferences are not always easy to find on a Mac. You can find them in System Preferences under Printers & Scanners, but they are often buried by other features towards the bottom of the page. These settings control how your printer prints documents and images, so it's important to know where they're located if you want to have any say in what happens when you print something.

Why does my Mac keep printing double sided?

The reason your Mac keeps printing double sided is because you have the printer set to print on both sides of the paper. If you just want it to print on one side, then there are a few settings that can fix this problem.

When clicking "Print" in the top left corner of your screen, select "Page Setup". You'll see two options: "One-sided" and "Both." Selecting either will stop your Mac from printing double sided.

Some people may not know this, but some Macs will print double sided automatically. This is a great feature for saving paper, so it's worth finding out if your printer does this on its own.

I have a HP Deskjet 3520 that does just that! All you need to do is go into the Printer Settings panel in the Printers & Scanners section of System Preferences and select "Print on Both Sides" from the drop down menu. You'll be amazed at how many sheets of paper you can save by doing this every time.

Conclusion:

The Settings menu in the Mac operating system is where you go to configure your printer.
