Title: Saved printer setup files question
Post by: davidkirsch on January 28, 2011, 02:05:55 AM
I've saved a number of printer setups, following the instructions as in the video (great set of videos, BTW. Lots of goodies I'd probably NEVER discover on my own). However, when I switch setups the paper profile does not update in the "job properties" box in the lower right. For example, if the first setup I pick is Advanced Photo Paper Glossy, when I change to a setup for, say, Advanced Photo Paper Satin Matte, it does not update to Satin Matte in the Prtr ICC box. Is it supposed to update automatically or does it require manual selection of the profile in the job properties box? In the video it does seem to update the ICC profile when a different setup is picked, so I don't know why mine doesn't. And, this happens both on my desktop and my laptop.

Never mind last post. I was making a error. They do update.

That is how a saved Session works, it only saves the queue, page layout, borders & text.
In the video you will see I changed the printer set-up by recalling one for an R800 with a particular paper etc. before loading the saved Sessions
When you recall a setup and the printer profile and parameters need to be changed, click the Printer ICC blue dot in Job Properties (bottom right of screen) and browse to the correct profile.
If you have used the profile before, QU will ask if you want to load the printer driver settings that were previously used with the profile, click yes. Otherwise check & re-set the driver for the paper being used.
I would advise you to save your Printer setups for each paper, size etc. for easy recall without having to check the driver every time. That is covered in the Print Drivers & ICC Profiles video.
