Set print preferences

If you want users to adjust print preferences before printing, use MFP Kiosk Preferences profiles in the Device Configuration to make print preference available to users.

The following conditions must be met to use this profile to set print preferences for print release:

  • The associated destination is configured with a printer family that supports the device.
  • The associated destination is configured to use the Apply Print Preferences output process.
  • The configured printer family supports the data format of the document, for example PostScript or PCL.
  • The configured printer family supports modifying the print preferences selected here.
Modifying PostScript data from third-party drivers is not supported. Use the Output Manager Universal PostScript Driver instead.
  1. In the Device Configuration window, click the Device Details tab.
  2. Select the Embedded Client option.
  3. Under Embedded Client, click New.
  4. Type a name for the profile in the Name field.
  5. Type a profile description in the Description field.
  6. Click the arrow next to any item to expand an option group.
  7. Select the check box next to a print option to add it to the Selected items list. The items shown here depend on the device features and options.
  8. Click OK.
  9. If the Unified Client for HP is already started, restart it to implement the changes.
