In this post Ill describe the printer management and print document management options. To manage a printer and print documents follow the following steps:
Go to Control Panel, Printer and Faxes, Right Click the printer you want to manage. Now you can see management option from the pop-up menu. Select the appropriate option for the area you want to manage.
See the table below for description of each option.

| Printing Preferences | Brings up the Printing Preferences dialog box, which allows you to configure printer settings for page layout and paper quality. |
