    I have an hp officejet j4550. When printing it defaults to general everyday printing. Since I'm the only one reading these orders, I always change the setting to fast/economical printing. Can I edit the registry to make this setting the default and save me a step printing? I use windows 7. Thanks for any help.

    Try this: Click the Windows 7 Start orb, click Devices and Printers, right-click your HP OfficeJet J4550, click Printer Preferences, click the Paper/Quality tab, click Draft (or whatever), then click Apply and OK.

    You're more than welcome. Next time, ask sooner? ;)
