Hwo to set my PDF reader to print duplex by default
« on: October 06, 2015, 09:32:05 AM »
I like to use FoxIt  as my PDF reader. But every time I go to print a document, I have to set my HP Officejet Pro 8610 to double side print. I see not way to maake it default.
Can I set it as doable side by default?
Please make it easy for me.

Well from all i have read that is printer reliant...not software reliant...
Best of Luck though...

That got me to thinking.
I found it is a Control Panel Print Preferences thingy.

When you set preferences inside of program, the go away with the program exit.
But if you set preferences in Control Panel it ticks.

I am testing it now. If it does not work right, I will be back.
P.S. My new printer is a HP Officejet Pro 861.
I print a lot of PDF documents from 15 to 32 pages. I like to use duplex to cut down on the bulk I have to carry in by bag. And maybe save a few trees.
