Yes, that's how it works on my ULS, can't speak to all the others. Again, note that those settings are in the printer driver properties dialog: Corel knows nothing about them. No different from selecting color profile or photo print quality on my inkjet.

One can argue that having to access the properties dialog makes it a two-step process, but that's only if you're changing materials from job to job. Again, true for virtually all printers more complicated than a teletype.
