What I appreciate very Mac OS is the ability to save settings in the Print dialog extensive than can be preset.

This can then be simply a drop-down list, for example, between "normal", "double-sided" or "Booklet" select (pictured above right). One must not always through the depths of the print dialog . Fight

the way is also a nice print preview in the Print dialog built-in - see picture.

Some printers, there are sometimes a few setting traps: the color printing with our Xerox Workcentre 7235 did not work first. That you select the "275 Xerox WorkCentre Pro driver must find out fast times. This works well then the booklet printing, and brochure layout called.

but it may take longer to realize that the color is only possible if the "Color Adjustment" option "printer-specific" is set - well, that's not very obvious. But fortunately it is also the default in a corresponding save for a quick selection.

VMware Tuning

The performance of my Windows VM was since switching to VWware never really satisfactory. The Version 2 VMware has not the situation improved. So time for some tuning :-)

My Windows VM was Versoion for a staggered set up VMware: first a Network Setup a VM (Type "Other"), then a VM based on it by the Type "Windows" (so that people could install the VMware Tools). The result was two interdependent Windows file system files. And performs worse with time. So: Reinstall the Windows VM in a VM only - with version 2 of the VMware is now.

The second tuning step: Capacity Enlargement! On computers that means more RAM. Doubling from two to four gigabytes in the Mac, so the VM can now use a whole instead of half a giga.

now running Windows in the VM pretty neat, I could take back the assignment of two used for Windows CPU cores on one - which enjoys the parallel current Mac applications.

An additional step could be a (re) Change of virtualization be, because Parallels virtualized Windows faster than VMware . But for us now is VMware Standard ...
