How do I set up a default printing mode?

I have an old but perfectly serviceable laser printer. When I was running
Office XP, I could set the default printing mode as "Economode" so that it
printed in draft format and saved a lot of toner. Now in Office 2007, I
cannot set "Economode" as the default mode. Every time I want to print
something, I have to click on Properties and manually change the printing
mode. Is there any way round this? I want to end up in the position that I
normally print in Economode but (on the rare occasions I need to print in
full-ink format) I can manually uncheck the Economode box? Many thanks. Max

You need to change the default setting on your printer. The dialog is
respecting those defaults and only offers a way to override it.

Thanks very much for such a swift response. I should have explained: I have
changed the default setting on my printer (so that it makes Economode the
default setting) but Office 2077 overrides this. Is there some way I can stop
Office doing this? Regards -- Max
