Selecting a printer in Windows
« on: March 26, 2015, 08:35:01 AM »
Kirk,

Is it at all possible to setup a quicker and more user friendly way of changing PM's printer on Windows so that you don't have to keep changing the default printer in the Control Panel?

I currently have 2 physical printers plus I need to print to a PDF printer when I'm sending proofs to a magazine. It would be a lot easier if the printer could be altered when the print box opens as it does in most other programs.

Is it feasible?

Best rgds,
David

It really does need improvement.  I'll try to get it redone in the next major version of Photo Mechanic.
