How to print from Mac OS X

You do not need to switch printers before starting printing 
because they are all managed under the setting of [Print & Fax] 
of [System Preferences]. Once a printer is added to the Printer 
List, you can select any printer directly from the [Page Setup] 
dialog box or the [Print] dialog box.

Setting options and printing from 
Macintosh Computers

In Mac OS X applications, print options are set from both the 
[Page Setup] dialog box and the [Print] dialog box.
