CONFIGURING AND RETRIEVING PRINTER OPTIONS
Setting options at the printer level enables you to use print
properties that your application does not support. Any options

You can set specific options manually, or have the printer driver
automatically determine which options are available.

port. The Sharing tab is present only when you are sharing the
printer. For more information, see your Windows
