Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for choosing a target printer.

You should always choose a target printer for your presentation before creating it. Normally if you always use the same printer, you’ll choose the target printer once and then forget it. To choose a target printer, choose Printer Setup from the File menu. Double-click a target printer for the Slides and for the Notes and Handouts. The target printers can be the same for both.

Note: In order for a printer to be listed on the Printer Setup dialog box, it must first be installed in Windows.

Click Setup for each target printer and the Setup dialog box for that printer will appear. Each model of printer has its own type of dialog box. Make your printing choices in the Printer’s dialog box. Usually you click OK in the dialog box to return to the PowerPoint Printer Setup dialog box.

Sometimes the various printers do not have the same fonts available on them. Click Fonts to see which fonts are available and to add new ones if necessary.

If you want to print on a draft printer, choose Print from the File menu. The button for choosing draft printer is on the Print dialog box.
