Changing settings for the Mac OS
You can change printer settings from the Page Setup and Print dialog boxes in the Mac OS.
You can also select the default printer. The default printer is the one that is used if you choose
the Print command without first specifying which printer you want to use with an application.
The default printer should be the printer that you use most often.
