Want to save multiple printer settings using an OfficeJet 8600 and Windows7

Question

I recently bought an OfficeJet 8600 to replace an old OfficeJet L7590. I'm dismayed to discover that the new 8600 does not have the ability to save multiple print configurations. Using the L7590, I was able to combine paper size, orientation, print quality, colour/B&W setting, duplex, etc. and save with a custom name. It was then easy to select from a range of preset configurations each time I printed. Now, on the 8600, I have to dig three layers into the menu and individually set each one of the options - EVERY TIME I PRINT! It seems that Mac users still have the ability to save configurations, at least in a limited way, but not Windows users. What gives?

Answer 1

The default settings can be set as follows:  Click Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the Officejet 8600 and select "Printing Preferences".  Make the changes you would like and Apply.
The L7590 driver is likely compatible with the Officejet 8600, you could also just  install the L7590 driver and change the "port" settings to point at the 8600.  You could then use the features you like...  Post back here if you want to try this out, I could provide more details.
