Controlling Your Print Job Control your print jobs from the printer or your computer. Changes to the printer setup made from the printer control panel become default settings for all print jobs. Changes to the printer setup made through the printer driver on the computer will override settings in the printer control panel and affect only the print jobs initiated from that computer. Changes made from an application will remain in effect for the current print job or until changed, depending on the application. Most changes made to the printer should be made from the computer so that the changes do not affect other users' print jobs.
