Hello...
This may seem like kind of an obscure thing, but is there a way to set
printer preferences/properties using a script or command-line options?
Let me give you an example...
I do cd printing and some labels just have black text, so I drop the
saturation and ink use down to its lowest setting. Others, though, have
full
color and I like to use a higher setting. Currently, I have to manually
change the settings for each.
I already run batch scripts to do the printing and it would be really cool
if I could just add a line or two at the beginning to jump back and forth
between quality settings.
I imaging that I could do this with a macro editor and actually record
keyboard/mouse routines, but I would rather not go that route if I didn't
have to.
