Message: <blockquote data-quote="Captain Slocum" data-source="post: 1319238" data-attributes="member: 214122">I have looked at so many posts and threads and articles and tried all the advice about this but am no nearer to understanding how to set the defaults on my printer.All I want to do is have the default printer (An HP D1660) use fast draft, greyscale, so that when others use the machine they do not accidentally print out in best colour if they do not need it. I want the printer (on an iMac mid 2011, OS X Lion 10.7.2) to always revert to the default when an application is opened for the first time but to remember any settings a user may have changed until the app is closed.I am a convert from Windows, and while I love the Mac and find it a joy and a revelation, it does seem that when it comes to printing, Windows was much easier to set up.I have set the defaults for the printer to grayscale, fast draft, using localhost:631/printers and also set the default values in the printer dialogue (Presets - Default settings/Show details/Paper Type-Quality) but still it reverts to printing in colour when a new app is opened for printing!It's driving me nuts. Put me out of my misery and tell me either how to do it or that it can't be done before I lose any more sleep.</blockquote>

Verification: How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
