	Try deleting 'system-configuration' in 'devs:'.  Then go into prefs,
set everything up the way you want it and select save.  You may have a
bad file right now.  Let us know of the results.  To answer your question
directly;  Yes you can alter the print settings through use of the
Printer Preferences icon.  Are you running the release version of V1.3
or a beta/gamma copy?
