Method, printer, and computer-readable medium for printing with user-specified and predefined settings

A printer comprising a processor and a memory storing a print software program, the processor executing instructions in the print software program to perform a printing process comprising:

• storing, by the printer, a plurality of predefined print setting groups;
• receiving, by the printer from a client device, a user-specified shortcut ID for a print job;
• associating, by the printer, the received user-specified shortcut ID to a designated group among the plurality of predefined print setting groups, the designated group comprising a first predefined print setting and a second predefined print setting, the first predefined print setting being a value for a first print setting type, the second predefined print setting being a value for a second print setting type;
• receiving, by the printer from the client device, a user-specified print setting as another value for the first print setting type that is different from and conflicts with the first predefined print setting for the first print setting type and that does not conflict with the second predefined print setting for the second print setting type;
• and
• executing, by the printer, the print job by using the user-specified print setting for the first print setting type and the second predefined print setting for the second print setting type.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer readable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a printer, cause the printer to perform a printing process comprising:

• storing, by the printer, a plurality of predefined print setting groups;
• receiving, by the printer from a client device, a user-specified shortcut ID for a print job;
• associating, by the printer, the received user-specified shortcut ID to a designated group among the plurality of predefined print setting groups, the designated group comprising a first predefined print setting and a second predefined print setting, the first predefined print setting being a value for a first print setting type, the second predefined print setting being a value for a second print setting type;
• receiving, by the printer from the client device, a user-specified print setting as another value for the first print setting type that is different from and conflicts with the first predefined print setting for the first print setting type and that does not conflict with the second predefined print setting for the second print setting type;
• and
• executing, by the printer, the print job by using the user-specified print setting and the second predefined print setting of the designated group.
