The printer settings I selected changed

The settings in your greeting card application may override the
Printer Properties settings in Windows or the Print settings in
Macintosh. Check the documentation that came with your
application for more information.

When you change printer settings from your application, the
settings apply only to the specific document you opened with
that application. To make the settings apply to all documents,
see page 4 to change the settings from Windows or see
page 12 to change the settings from Macintosh.
