Print Settings in Elements 13

Is there any way to set your own default print settings in PSE 13? Every time I go to print from a restart of the program I have to select my paper size, paper quality, print quality and borderless.

I have had many versions of PSE and they have all acted the same.

I'm not sure if it does or not, but look for a way to create a "preset". Or, go to the help menu in PSE and lookup "preset". I know that Lightroom does that but couldn't say for sure if PSE does.

I just looked under preset and nothing seem to show up for PSE printing.

Thanks

I can save settings in my printer/plotter profiles (Printer preferences)depending on which printer/plotter I'm using, it may be as a preset, or a particular plot file, but it's with the printer preferences. Not sure if low end printers will allow saving settings.

Yes, that's the way I do it. Even on my inexpensive Epson multifunction printer I can save a preset. I just go into my settings before I print and then set the paper size, quality of print, orientation etc., then go to the first tab and create an name my preset. Then next time I print I just choose that preset and it's ready to go. On my more expensive Canon printer, I so the same thing but instead of creating a preset, I just choose a check box that tells it to save those settings for the next time I print. The next time I print it's ready to go. It's always wise to give them a quick check if it's been a while since printing.

My cheap printer - I just click on Add/Remove then give the preset a name

Thanks, I should have looked around more! That helps speed the process along.
