This brings up a dialog box that prompts you to assign a filename and choose the directory in which to store the profile. When you complete the information in the dialog box, choose OK.

Change just those settings that you want to change and then choose Save AS in the File menu. Enter a new filename and choose the directory in which to save the profile. Use the settings currently in use by the printer to create a profile. To do so, choose Import profile From Printer in the File menu. This brings up a dialog box that prompts you to name the profile and choose the directory in which to store it. When you open a profile, you can export the printer settings described by the profile by using the Export Profile to Printer item on the File menu. Reporter The Reporter keeps you informed of the printer status and alerts you to printer problems. Each time the printer status changes or an error occurs, a message automatically appears on screen to notify you.

as needed. Then choose Save
Profile
in the File menu. This brings up
a dialog box that prompts you to assign a filename and choose the
directory in which to store the profile. When you complete the
information in the dialog box, choose
OK.
Open an existing profile and modify the settings of the profile. To do
so, use Open Profile
