Printing Question
As I pursue my woes with this SamsungM2820DW on W7, I have discovered
something I never noticed before. I seem to get different printer options & settings choices depending on whether I 1) open a document with the program set up to handle it (or) 2) right click on the documnt sort-cut icon and select print from the next menu The details: I tried with a .txt file, a .doc file, and a .pdf file. When I open a .txt file it wants to run Notepad. When I open a .doc file it wants to run MSWord. When I open a .pdf file, it wants to run Adobe Reader. Naturally. None of these seem to print on the Samsung correctly. When I right click on any of the three type files, and select 'print' though, it runs the same and different program, one I am not familiar with, and produces a different set of printer options & settings. What program is that? It has no 'Help' or 'About' that I see. Why would the printer options & settings be different? All of these in this case print on the Samsung correctly. No wonder I have been confused. Thank you Big Fred --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com |

Using the Context-sensitive choice of printing (actually performed by command line) inherits a limited setup of the Default Printer. The capability will also vary based upon the application associated to the file type. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

No wonder I got the printer for a good price. Waste of money IMO. Thank God I only spent $40. Big Fred --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
