Publisher Feature Request: Standardize printer settings in the Print Dialog boxes


Recommended Posts

The printer drivers seem to be implemented differently in Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher.  This would be File/Print in both programs.  I have two different Epson Printers, a Surecolor P600 and a Stylus R3000.  I do not know if this is similar for other brands like Canon.  The Print Box for both programs is shown below.  

Affinity Photo has three separate options in the third section.  This is the same in Photoshop and Lightroom and I think it is the correct way to implement this:

In Publisher these three options are combined into a Printer Feature Tab, which is more confusing:

As an example, Media Type shows up Twice in this section of the Printer Feature Drop Down options:

And once here:

In addition, options don't get greyed out when they are over ridden by a previous selection - such turning color management off when you are using an ICC profile.  The Photo Approach, it is much more organized and easier to use.  Consistency across the three apps would be awesome.  Thanks for considering.
