How to set quick print settings to allow for faster printing and/or use of a virtual printer in Report Pro
Things To Note
-
Please check if ‘Manage My Default Printer’ is enabled in Windows and, if it is, turn the setting off
-
After switching the printer in Quick Reports, make sure the tray settings are correct. They will not automatically change if the new printer has new tray settings
-
If a printer is renamed you must reselect it with the new name from the drop down menu. This works if a printer connected via a network share is shared from a different computer.
-
Settings are unique to each computer on the network
