Printing to your desktop printer

If you plan to print to your inexpensive little inkjet, you really don’t need to do anything but set up your printing specs in the Print dialog box, then click the Print button. The paper and quality that you choose in the Print dialog boxes for your specific printer make a huge difference in the output, so be sure to check them (see below).

If you have a more expensive desktop laser printer, you have even more control over the quality. Surely you have downloaded the latest print driver so you have options for quality control. In the Print dialog box, click the button at the bottom, “Printer...,” to get access to your specific printer options. InDesign will yell at you (a little message pops up), but that’s okay.
