Windows 10: how to take print out from network printers

I have a printer cum photo state machine connected in my office.

Each time I fire a print I have to go to settings of printer on document

like in this screenshot




and disable color print then enable black and white print.

Then I take print out.

How can I do setting so that I can directly take print out black and white.

It is PLC V6 driver for universal printing preference installed.

The printer I have to use is a Ricoh MP C2003 photo state machine.

I do not know how to access it for taking print outs easily.

I think some device driver r91379L1a

is installed on my laptop. But each time I have to open printer settings to take print out other wise it

wont print. Is there a better solution for this. Meaning I don't want to open printer settings again and again for taking one or 2 page print out.






I use Windows 10. OS Build 19041.508

Error - Printing on Network printer

We have 4 printers on our Windows print server. The server was migrated from win2k3 to 2k8 on friday. 3/4 printers are working great, the other is having issues. When trying to print a test page to it, it gets a job status of Error - Printing.

When sending a small word document to it, it sends it to the printer, the queue is empty but nothing prints. If I goto the printer itself, it doesnt show any errors and I can print things such as information sheets and diagnostic files just fine.

All four printers are the same model, all 4 have a static IP. I can ping the printer successfully. I've tried printing from both an XP machine and the print server itself. I tried removing and adding the printer on the print server. And lastly, uunplugged the printer for 30 seconds, plugged it back in.

Any ideas?

 

Error - Printing on Network printer

What type of printers are they? Show a screenie of the http web page it offers. Use something like softperfect's netscan, go options, additional, check "check for open TCP ports and add 21,80,443,9100. Make sure the same result appears for all 4 printers. Post a screenie.

PS. I dont think this is a drivers issue. It's a fault network setup (on the printer) or a firewall/switch acting in between you and the printer. The printer obviously isnt dead if it can run and print diagnostics pages from the control panel.

 

Networked Printer: How to print both sides?

Some printers may be duplex but don't support the command over network protocols.

On most printers (no duplexing), printing on "both sides" means print odd pages, user has to change the orientation of said pages, and then it prints even pages. They have a special sequence dedicated to the "both sides" process. If this is the case, after it is done printing odd pages, a dialog should pop up showing you how to put the paper back in and also tell you how to resume printing.
