Pawprint Advanced Settings

This article explores how to use most common Pawprint Advanced options, such as color printing, stapling, hole punching, and one/two sided options. The article also includes instructions on how to save these settings as presets, so you don’t have to manually set them each time. Please note, HP and Canon offer differing features, and options may be configured slightly differently for each make of printer. 

If you find yourself frequently using one or more of these features, consider saving a printing preset to save time in the future!
