Hi Henk,

The simple answer is that you can't.

The screens you are seeing are a dialogue with the presentation driver
for your printer. This is the only official way to set the defaults
for the printer object.

The complicated answer is that the settings are often stored in the
extended attributes of the printer driver. There is no guarantee that
this will always be so. [This was told to me by a former IBM
developer. I haven't tried looking myself.] If you want to do some
inspired hacking you might be able to find them. You might even be
able to modify them without destroying your printer objects/spool/WPS.

Personally, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. ... :-)

Regards

Dave
