Right-click the printer and click Properties. On the Properties dialog box, on the General tab, click Printing Preferences. 2 Type the path of the printer, and then click OK.

Make sure the paper size and paper source in Microsoft Office applications correlate with each other, or your documents won’t print. (When you change the paper size, the system should automatically select the corresponding paper source by default.) 7 Print on Both Sides Printing on both sides reduces paper, which saves money and the environment.

However, if for some reason you need to set a public printer to print on both sides: Click the Start ( ) button>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Printers. Right-click the printer and click Properties. On the Properties dialog box, on the General tab, click Printing Preferences. 3 Tip Change the orientation to “Landscape” by going to the Printing Preferences dialog box.
