Printer Box

[Guest Adelxt]

Hi,

 

When I want to print something from IE or even a program the printer box

will display all the printers available as icons. The present reolution is

800 x 600 so the box has to be moved to click on the apply button. I would

prefer to have the samller printer box pop up which has the drop down menu

istead of all the icons.

 

Can somebody tell me where that configuration is for me to make the change?

 

Thanks

Steve

Very strange. I'm running a 15" monitor with a default resolution of 800 x 600

and the Print dialog window is well within the screen's borders. It sounds more

like a problem in a 640 x 480 resolution.

 

Are you, by chance, using any of the Accessibility features that may be

magnifying screen images?

 

If you have a default printer assigned, there should be no need to click on the

Apply button. Simply press the Enter key to select the default printer.

 

If you need a utility that can easily change the screen's resolution, look for

QuickResNT in this website:

Hi David,

 

You may be right but after I thought about it my client may be using a 640

by 480 resolution but I doubt she is using any accessability features. ( I

can check on that). But, I have seen that on some configurations the

printer box will come up displaying all the printer icons and then there's

been times that I've seen a printer box come up with a drop down menu. Is

there a configuration either in IE or maybe somewhere within Windows that

allows the different configs? Since I've seen this many times there's got to

be a reason. anyone know?

 

thanks

steve

Re: Printer Box

 

The printer dialog window that you're referring to is not universal to all

applications. It's more common in IE and OE apps. Sometimes it's bypassed when

the user clicks on the printer icon in the toolbar.

 

Many other apps offer completely different printer dialog windows. Try printing

from Word, Excel, or 3rd party apps like IrfanView, to see the difference.

 

I don't know of any way to change this behavior.
