Incompatible Print Settings messages
Incompatible print settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in
response to specific actions that you take. These messages alert you that the selections are
illogical or impossible given the capabilities of the printer or the current settings of other controls.
Constraint messages are limited for HP unidrivers. The HP unidrivers allow some settings
that are illogical or impossible for the printer to perform. If you try to print with incompatible
settings, the printed documents might have unexpected results because the print driver did
not provide feedback that the settings were incompatible. If print jobs do not print as
expected, check the printer's documentation for the product capabilities.
In Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating environments, some
technically invalid print-driver configurations result in the appearance of warning messages.
Duplexing, for instance, is not possible when the Transparency media type is selected. The
following illustration shows an Incompatible Print Settings message that appears.

Clicking the Resolve all conflicts for me automatically option button and then clicking OK
accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the conflicting control to a
setting that is compatible with the new value. If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click
I will resolve the conflict myself and then click OK.
