In a data processing system, print jobs are printed on a selected printer utilizing the printer properties 74 in effect for that printer at the time that the print job was spooled for printing. Typically, the printer prints with default printer properties. However, a user can temporarily override these default values by specifying temporary printer properties from within an application. A user-specifiable printer properties retention timer value 82 allows the user to control how long temporary printer properties are to be in effect before being set back to their default value. The temporary driver properties could also be set based on the number of print jobs instead of or in addition to a timer. The user thus has improved certainty as to when the printer properties are automatically rest to their default values, and the frequency at which the user prints to a printer with unexpected printer properties is reduced.
