Create multiple custom print setups in 10.2 System
This one I love! On a regular basis, I need to change my "custom" print configurations. For a day or so I am printing a number of little docs and tips in draft mode and black and white. Next thing I know I am printing docs for work, then full color graphics, then photos. In the middle of all this, I may still need to go back to an older config. The options are nice to have, but four out of five times, I use the same configuration, depending on the print job I am doing.

There was never a way to set a configuration for everything I do on a regular basis. It was either custom or standard.

Now you can save multiple printing configurations using "Save As" under the Presets pop-up in the Print dialog box. Save one that is draft mode with black & white, another that is Normal quality with color, and another for photos, whatever you want. You can save them all with whatever name you like and just select them from the presets drop down menu

Happy printing!

scripting with special printing

thank you so much for this hint on print/saveAs! I didn't notice the presets option that i had to do this!

now i wonder, can i also choose my preset, saved printer options from within a script? i'm new to mac osx & applescript/quickeys, and i haven't yet made my first script!
