Dan-

I am probably the last person that should comment on computer/printer operation, as I am definitely low tec; however, using an old G5 with system 10.5.8, I have no problem printing colors from drawings made with my CAD program. (VectorWorks 11.1) .

When using this CAD program, each line can be a different color, as can be backgrounds, foregrounds, etc. When I have finished the drawing to my liking, I just print it out by setting the proper size, and never worry about the rest, and the pictures and drawings come out fine.

Come to think of it, I occasionally print color pictures on my computer with out resorting any special settlings. But being lazy, I usually let Walgreens do that job.

Sorry Dan, I misread your question. Glad you found your answer, boy I thought most printers would allow settings.

The settings I'm trying to change are the specific printer settings, such as paper size, color, etc., that are found within the Default Settings for each printer, not which printer is the default one.

And … I found instructions on how to do what I want at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4094827?start=0&tstart=0 , but it appears that my printer does not offer an option to change the color setting, which is what I want to do.

Thanks.

Dan,

In the system pref. under printer you can set a particular printer as the default, or the last used. If that can't be changed I have no idea what is going on.

Next question:

Is there a way to change the Default Settings for a printer? I know how to save different presets for printers in the Print dialogue, but it won't let me overwrite the Default Settings preset, nor can I delete it.
