5.1.2 Printer Settings

The Printer Settings pane contains a dropdown menu for selecting a printer to print to. There is a special `printer' named ‘File’ that allows you to choose a file to print to, rather than a printer queue. The Setup box to the right allows specification of a printer type, a PPD file(3), and the command to be used to print. Each distinct printer in the Printer list can have different settings applied to it. Below that is a combo box allowing choice of media size. The choices are constrained to those that the printer supports. Below that are dropdown menus for choosing media type (what kind of paper), media source (what input tray), ink type, and resolution. All of these settings are printer-specific.
