Print Management Guide - Printer properties overview

You use a printer's properties pages, or tabs, to set and customize a printer's behavior, provided you have the appropriate printer permission. The printer's properties tabs include a standard set of tabs that always appear for all printers, and optional tabs that might appear based on the printer's driver. For example, color printers have an additional tab called Color Management.

The first table summarizes the standard set of the printer's properties tabs, which always appear. The second table shows some examples of optional printer's properties tabs that might appear.
