How to open and change Printer settings in Windows 10

Whether you’re printing a single document or multiple documents from a program on Windows 10, you will have to configure the print settings first. The Printer Settings page in Windows 10 allows you to configure different options like the paper size, the page orientation, and the page margins.

Open & change Printer settings in Windows 10

Following a quick setup, you can start printing immediately. However, you might need to configure a few printer settings. You can even set the default printer here. So, here’s how to open the Printers settings page in Windows 10 and change the settings:

  1. Type ‘Printers’ in the Windows 10 Search bar
  2. Select ‘Printers & Scanners’ options
  3. Right-click the printer icon and choose ‘Printing Preferences’.
  4. The Printer Settings page will open.

Let us see this in more detail.

Type ‘Printers’ in the Windows 10 Search bar and select ‘Printers & Scanners’ options

See if your printer is listed under ‘Printers & Scanners’ menu.

When seen, right-click the printer icon and choose ‘Printing Preferences’.

Instantly, you’ll get access to the Printer Settings page.

Thus, this way you can open the Printer Settings page in Windows 10.

Here, you can change/modify the Page Size, Paper Layout, and other Printer Settings.

Do note that the names of the tabs and settings may differ, depending on your printer model and driver versions.

You can also access the Printer settings via some applications. Let us take the example of Microsoft Word.

Open Microsoft Word or any other Office application.

Click ‘File’ menu (located in the upper-left corner) and choose ‘Print’ from the list of options displayed.

Adjacent to the option, you’ll find ‘Printer Properties’ link. Click the link to open the Printer Settings page.

The first method lets you set the the default printer and allows defining printer settings for all print jobs, while accessing Printer Settings via an app for single print jobs. We have listed both methods since when you print a document, it’s paper size, page orientation, or page margins differ from what you specified in the printer driver properties.

Question

anyone encounter that the print preference setting reset to default for windows 10 build 1607?

meaning the print server print preference settings is set as A4 size and black and white but after install the printer on the client computer, the print preference settings is letter and auto color which is the default settings.

i dont see this issue on windows 10 build 1511

Due to limited condition, I can’t test for you.

One thing we need to understand that the default Printing Preference settings only stay until they are modified on the local print queue. All print queue information on the client machine is profile specific.

As we know, users can change these settings until the next refresh of Group Policy. Printing preferences is stored per printer per user basis. So once a user sets a particular printing preference for him, its going to stay.

So, I don’t think current situation is an issue, your users can configure network printer to meet their demand freely. I am sorry that I can’t give you suggestion for current situation, maybe you could feed back demand to Microsoft by built-in Feedback app.

We are also seeing this issue with Windows 10 1607. I have logged it with Canon as we use their Uniflow drivers. I’ll respond with any useful info I get back.

I’m seeing the same thing.

We have Ricoh printers, using their latest PS Driver for Universal Print.

We have got the same issue here with Version 1607! Has anyone found solution for that? We primary use Konica Minolta Devices and all default settings on the Printserver are not applied to the clients since the upgrade.

I found a workaround, but it isn’t pretty. The instructions below will help you create a registry item in a GPO that will add printer preferences per user via registry.

  1. Make sure printer is installed on user PC
  2. Set desired preferences on user PC
  3. Create or Edit GPO (Group Policy Object) on server
  4. Navigate to User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry
  5. Right-click in right side panel and choose New > Registry Wizard
  6. Select Another Location and enter user PC name with preferences configured in step 2
  7. Expand HKEY_USERS, expand user GUID that contains preferences, expand Printers, expand Connections, expand desired printer
  8. In the panel below select the item DevMode (Binary) then click the Finish button
  9. Now navigate through the folders until you get to the DevMode item and double-click on it.
  10. In the Key Path field, delete all characters before Printers
  11. On my instance I changed the action to Replace in case a user already had tried changing preferences
  12. On the Common Tab, enable Run in logged-on user’s security context
  13. Click Apply, then click OK
  14. if you want to clean it up, you can cut and paste the DevMode item into the top-level Registry folder under preferences.
  15. Now this will apply preferences every time Group Policy is applied to a PC.

Same problem with Xerox copiers. Printing goes from single sided to double sided. Printing preferences on the print server that deployed the printers is still single sided. All clients preferences are now double sided.

May try Jesse’s fix.
