Publisher: save printer settings?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a question on the print profiles in Publisher. It seems they save the settings made directly made in the print dialogue of Publisher, such as Colour Management. However, settings made in the properties of the printer driver are not saved, for example the paper type. It is a bit cumbersome and error-prone to always have to change this settings manually every time. Is there a way to also save different printer driver settings for reuse?

Regards, Robert

You're right, as far as I can see.

My printers also support printing profiles, which simplifies it somewhat, but it means selecting a printing profile in Affinity, and clicking "Properties" in the Print dialog and also telling the printer to select a profile.

This would be a good Feature Request to add if no one has asked already.

One more comment: the PRO-1000 supports printing profiles in the driver as well, but unfortunately does not save paper size in the printing profile. And I am printing on custom size, so I have to enter the numbers every time. Unfortunately the Windows driver from Canon also does not support saving custom sizes (the Mac driver does). However maybe I can override this with the size settings from Publisher, have to try ...
