Print from a software application
Most print settings are automatically handled by the software application you are
printing from or by HP ColorSmart technology. You need to change the settings
manually only when you change print quality, print on specific types of paper or
transparency film, or use special features.

Tip
You can easily print your job with a set of default settings based on the type
of job you want to print. On the Printing Shortcuts tab, click a type of print
task in the What do you want to do? list. The default settings for that type of
print task are set, and summarized on the Printing Shortcuts tab. If
necessary, you can adjust the settings here, or you can make your changes
on the other tabs in the Properties dialog box.
